ME : The Grey Lady hasn't been identified more than thus, either - 
the Ravenclaw ghost? I presume there may also be something going on 
there - perhaps Luna will introduce her? It seems odd, as the other 
house ghosts have specific and front-of-house roles to play.
The other thing about ghosts is, when Harry and Ron are waiting to go 
in to be sorted in PS, 'About twenty ghosts had just streamed through 
the back wall'. Where are they all? We only see the three house 
ghosts and Peeves..
