 <snip> So this is my theory:
 
 The quill writes down the names of the children *as
 given* at birth.  It has some magical property that
 keeps track of the children, so if their name changes,
 the quill *magically* knows, and the name the quill
 records originally changes too.  McGonagall wouldn't
 know if this happens; she doesn't look ahead ever.
 
 Also, if a magical child moves to Britain, the quill
 takes down that name too.  Once again, McGonagall
 would never know.
 
 Anyone else have any theories?

Now me: Hello all, Fred here.
I think the same magic is used to keep track of the names that was 
used to keep track of where Harry was sleeping in PS/SS.
At first, the letters were addressed to "Mr. H. Potter, The Cupboard 
under the stairs, 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey".(page 34, 
U.S.). Then, a second letter came addressed "Mr. H. Potter, The 
Smallest Bedroom, 4 Privet Drive -"(page 38), only to have another 
letter addressed "Mr. H. Potter, Room 17, Railview Hotel, Cokeworth.
(page 42). And finally, a letter somehow knew Harry was not only in a 
new place, but exactly where he was sleeping, because a final letter 
was given to him by Hagrid, addressed to "Mr. H. Potter, The Floor, 
Hut-on-the-rock, The Sea.(page 51).
So, if a quill knew exactly where Harry was staying AND sleeping for 
no less than 4 moves in a month, I am sure a quill would be able to 
keep track of something as a simple name change once in 11 years.

Thanks;
