Tom, Harry... Dick?

A funny little idea struck me earlier today and I've been thinking 
about it since. You know that expression, "Every Tom, Dick, and 
Harry?" Well, we have a Harry and a Tom (Riddle), who are arguably 
the two most important characters in the series. We are yet without 
a Dick. My point is, if ever a character does with the name Richard 
or any derivative thereof, I believe this will be a clue that that 
character will play an extremely pivotal role in the series. 

Harry and Tom are connected in countless ways (wands, powers, looks, 
etc.) and the novels could be described as a sequence of 
increasingly intense conflicts between the two, plausibly leading to 
a final, resolving show-down which will be the climax of the series. 
According to my theory, "Dick" would probably play a large part in 
their ongoing battle, and share their similar qualities and/or be a 
balance between their dissimilar qualities. 

I know, I know, it's a little far-fetched, but in my defense, J.K.R. 
tends to make good use of the meanings/associations attached to her 
characters' names; see any of the many Harry Potter Encyclopedia-
type websites if you don't know what I'm talking about. 

So there's my funny little idea. What say you?
