Not sure I think of these folks as secondary or minor.  We'll 
definitely see more of them, IMO, because they're NOT minor.

You forgot Charlie!  Tsk!

Perhaps her sister Gabrielle?  Her headmistress, Madame Maxime?

Oof.  I hope not.  Maybe for comic relief. ;)

Probably, but I have a bad feeling about this.  She's probably not 
feeling too warm and fuzzy about Hermione after being kept in a JAR.

> Cornelius Fudge

Unfortunately, yes.  Probably also other Ministry types, like the 
executioner, MacNair.  (Am I misremembering, or is he a DE?  He was 
present at the graveyard in Little Hangleton, wasn't he?)  Other 
Ministry people include Arthur's co-worker, Perkins (he lent the 
tents for the World Cup), and Basil (Department of Magical 
Transportation).

You forgot Doris Crockford.

I'm also thinking we'll see the elder Crabbe and Goyle, also present 
in the Little Hangleton graveyard.

Oh, there she is!  (Right--how do you miss Madame Maxime? <g>)

I doubt the Florence mystery will ever be solved.  Just a feeling.

Oh, I hope so.  And I get the feeling that Hermione will have to eat 
her words about Divination, especially as practiced by Centaurs, who 
seem to know what they're doing, but are reluctant to share their 
information with humans.

Others that occured to me:

The Diggorys
Aberforth Dumbledore (mentioned only in passing, once)
Aunt Marge
Piers Polkiss & Dudley's other friend (name escaping me)
Yvonne (Petunia's partner in gossip)
Florean Fortescue
Mr. Borgin (of Borgin and Burkes)
Ollivander
Stan Shunpike & Ernie
Penelope Clearwater
Oliver Wood (he's out of school now)
The Flying Ford Anglia
Aragog

That's all I can muster at this time.  I was reduced to a flying car 
and a giant spider.  I'm fairly certain that Crookshanks will figure 
again too, but as he's the pet of one of Trio, I'm not sure that 
counts as a 'secondary' character.  And I don't really think of 
Hedwig and Pigwidgeon as 'characters' so much as devices for mail to 
be delivered.  Perhaps we'll see more of Fawkes?  That would be nice.
