Anyway – if Brown, Lavender has a G beside her name, Bulstrode, 
Millicent has an S beside her name, and Abbot, Hannah has an H

*Ravenclaw* boyfriend, have an H beside his name?	
	
Me: 

I think the real mistake with the school list is the magically 
disappearing Sally-Anne Perks. Since Michael was never mentioned in 
canon before OoP, it was easy to change his house to Ravenclaw. Sally-
Anne, however, IS mentioned in canon during the Sorting in SS. So 
technically she should have been called before Harry when he's taking 
his O.W.L.s. Very picky, yes, but a mistake nevertheless. The strange 
thing is I can see "Perks" is on that school list picture before 
Harry. Maybe J.K. revised the list and took Sally-Anne out but forgot 
she was already mentioned in canon.
