I'm sure this has been brought up... but what are the theories about 
who the bartender of the Hog's Head is? Harry seems to remember him 
somehow... I am sure he is a great deal more significant than his 
small part in OOtP. We know he's been there for more than 20 years 
since he remembers Mundungus being banned. My theory? It's 
Aberforth... staying close by to his good old brother. That's also 
why he looks vaguely familiar to Harry... looks kind of like 
Dumbledore. That's why DD meet Trelawney in the Hog's Head for the 
interview... courtesy of his brother. And it was probably Aberforth 
who noticed the eavesdropper that heard part of the prophecy and 
threw him out.  One problem... Harry had seen a picture of Aberforth 
from the original Order of the Phoenix... maybe he didn't completely 
remember?
