Aesha Williams:
> I'm not sure what you mean by muggle-born uncle. If you're 
referring to Ted Tonks, Tonks' dad, well, he's just a plain old 
muggle (and someone made an interesting suggestion yesterday that Ted 
Tonks is the newscaster Ted that Harry once saw on the 
television...). Unless there is another muggle uncle you may be 
thinking of, but we know that Bellatrix is of course in a pure-blood 
marriage. 

now me (Michal):
Actually, Ted Tonks (Tonks's dad) is a muggle-born, not a muggle. I 
was really excited about the suggestion that he could be the 
newscaster in PS/SS, but then I went to look it up, and Moody 
definitely says "muggle-born," not "muggle."

Oh, JKR, what are the red flags and what are the red herrings?? Books 
6 and 7 can't come fast enough :)
