Rookwood

[Naama]

No: HPFGUIDX 77087

I was pretty annoyed by this, don't know if it's been discussed 
before (searched the archive and found nothing):

In GoF, Pensieve scene, Karkaroff names AUGUSTUS Rookwood who passed 
LV information from within the Ministry. In OoP, the Daily Prophet 
announces the escape of ten DEs, among whom there is one ALGERNON 
Rookwood. 

I've checked and double-checked, and I can't see how they can be two 
different people- in GoF, when Karkaroff rats on Rookwood I remember 
Crouch Sr. saying: "Augustus Rookwood, from the Department of 
Mysteries?" and Karkaroff answering -"The very same". And the caption 
for Rookwood's picture in the Prophet says he betrayed Ministry 
secrets to LV. Besides, the fact that Karkaroff says "Rookwood" and 
Crouch automatically replies "Augustus Rookwood" implies, to me at 
least, that there was only one Rookwood in the Ministry of Magic at 
the time.

Any thoughts?


--Naama, the petty-details obssessed. 
What kind of a name is Algernon anyway?! :-\
