I went to the Aberforth's Goat site to find this reference since I 
do remember reading a chat where JKR told the person who asked her 
about "Icicle" that there was *never* a character with that name and 
not to believe everything they saw on the internet <vbg>.

Unfortunately, that Yahooligans chat is apparently no longer 
available. although if you type the word "Icicle" into the search 
function at:

http://www.angelfire.com/magic/aberforthsgoat/index.htm

you can find the relevant portion where she dismisses the notion of 
a character with this name, so apparently this is one of those 
persistant rumors, which has no real basis.
