What about the bartender in the Hog's Head?  The place "smells like 
goats", and the only goat reference we've had so far is for 
Aberforth "practicing inappropriate charms" on them.  When JKR starts 
referencing smells, I smell clues!  

That bartender is tall and thin, with lots of long grey or silver 
hair, and he looks vaguely familiar to Harry.  He also listens very 
intently as the group discusses their DADA plans.

This isn't my original idea...it was on here several days ago, but I 
can't remember who came up with it.
