OK, A rehash of an earlier post of mine, but it intrigues me!!

I think that in all the books there are characters who are 
introduced/mentioned who later play prominent roles. In PS/SS Sirius 
Black is mentioned in the first chapter! 

At the PS/SS sorting ceremony there are 24 names mentioned. 
Most of them turn up again later in other books; AND they are either 
in the DA in OOP or in Slytherin. But there are several names not 
mentioned again (and the lexicon has nothing but PS/SS on them 
either).

Names we have seen again: Hannah Abbott, Susan Bones, Terry Boot, 
Millicent Bulstrode, Lavendar Brown, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Seamus 
Finnigan, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom. Draco Malfoy, (Crabbe 
and Goyle), Nott, Patil, Patil, Harry Potter, Dean Thomas, Ron 
Weasley.

Who are THESE? Mandy Brocklehurst(Ravenclaw), Moon, Sally-Anne Perks, 
Lisa Turpin (Ravenclaw). (And, thanks for the reminder, Blaise 
Zabini.)

OK, so we have four students in Harry's year who we have not "seen" 
again. Two of these do not have their house named. Might this Moon be 
the unnamed Syltherin boy in OOTP? Others think it's Blaise Zabini.

Will we see these four students in the next two books?!

Any ideas? Or posts that have discussed this that you can direct me 
to? :-)

Thanks!
