  I found the following Q & A in a online chat at scholastic.com 
(February 3, 2000)...
> 
> Q.  Do you take real people you know and put them in your books? 
> A. <snip> John Weasley is a little bit like my oldest friend, a man 
I was at school with, whose name is Sean. But neither of them are 
> accurate portraits. 
> 
> Who is John Weasley?  Could JKR have possibly changed the name of a 
> character at this point (after PoA)?  Could John be the missing 
> Weasley and JKR just slipped in giving his name?  Any other 
thoughts?

interviews, if you're interested:
