I, for one, cannot wait to get some serious canon on Mrs. Lestrange. 
The only female DE? (Narcissa has not been named as an actual DE, 
regardless of where her loyalties lie). JKR has to have an 
interesting story wrapped up in that character. I'm thinking an 
identity surprise ... why else obscure her first name and maiden 
surname for so long?
