Potioncat:
Thank you for asking!  I was wondering about the not/knot pun 
myself.  I tried looking up names of knots and even ended up on a 
British Boy Scout Troop's web page. I forgot in the book he is 
Theodore and was looking for an O Knot.(The O Knot)

It seems to me that Theo and possibly another Slytherin boy, stay on 
the edge of the Slytherin group.  While they may be part of the 
laughter at times, they don't really seem to hang out with Draco.  I 
know it's not certain if there are two skinny boys or one.  But I 
tend to think two.

I think Theo's name will work out in one or both ways you 
suggested.  Now, does anyone out there know anything about knots?
