Who are THESE? Mandy Brocklehurst(Ravenclaw), Moon, Sally-Anne Perks, 
Lisa Turpin (Ravenclaw).

I, Sherrie, add:

Don't forget the elusive Blaise Zabini.  We see him as the last student 
sorted in Harry's year (into Slytherin) - and we've heard nothing more of him 
since.  Some theorize that the "stringy" Slytherin boy in the Care of Magical 
Creatures class is Master Zabini, but as that's the only identification of that 
boy, and we have no description of Zabini, there's no real basis for this 
assumption - no real way to assign probability.

Interestingly, "Sally-Anne" is missing from the OWLs - she should have been 
in the same group as Harry - or possibly pushed him back into the next group.  
Yet her name is never called - did she drop out?  Have to repeat a year?  Or 
is this a FLINT - did JKR just forget about her?
