Well, JKR has certainly had a habit of making seemingly-obscure 
details important later on.  And she went to the trouble of telling 
us Nymphadora's father's name; that makes it more likely in my view 
that we'll get to meet him before the series is over.  I don't know 
if he's a newscaster, but it's a cool theory...  I always figured 
that newscaster's small grin was simply his straight-arrow reaction 
to reporting strange and not-very-important news.

Newscaster or not, I want to meet Ted Tonks-- this series needs a 
Muggle-born who's involved in the magical world.  We don't have one 
yet, do we?
