Now, the Ministry could certainly be wrong. And it may be possible to 
explain this away by other means. But, im my most humble opinion, 
it's another thing that *decreases the likelyhood* of little Master 
Evans being significant (I'm truly sorry to be such an old grump).

Me:

No need to be sorry :-)
I'm aware of said quote by Madam Bones. As you say, it could be 
explained :-) For instance, we don't know when a child 
is "discovered" being a wizard, or when he/she is officially and 
irrefutably magical. Remember Neville? He was quite old before he 
showed any signs of magical ability, to his uncle's great distress :-
) Maybe magical children aren't registered in the Ministry records 
until they're, let's say 11 years old? That's when they get the 
letter from Hogwarts, and that's when it would be "official" whether 
they're magic or not. Maybe Hogwarts knows more about the wizard 
children than the Ministry does... Just a thought :-)
