Personally, I think Blaise's going to be a red herring. Bear in mind
that he/she/it (I lean towards he, but that's just my problem ^_^) has
only been mentioned once, at the sorting ceremony in Philosopher's
Stone (is that right? I don't recall any other mentions...). For all
we know, it/she/he could've transferred to Beauxbatons in the second
year, or something.

If I was JKR, seeing as how all the fans in the world (or on the
internet, at least) have latched on to her/him, I'd forget about
him/her, just to be unexpected.

But I'm probably wrong... After all, we do need a Slytherin character
that isn't a complete goit, and all the Slytherins with personalities
so far need hitting with large mallets. Unless we get an entirely new
character showing up in book 6/7 like Luna did, Blaise could very well
blaze the way...

this)
