Characters have popped in briefly before making their "big debut". 
For example, Sirius Black was mentioned in SS once and then we all 
know his role in PoA. 
In CoS, Lucius Malfoy came into the mix (now reoccuring in books 2-
5...and we more than likely haven't seen the last of him). 
I've heard every spectulation from Colin Creevey to Hagrid as far as 
the Prince's identity, but evidence would seem to suggest that we 
already have the name of the HBP just not details. 
After all, we didn't know the details on Sirius until book 3. Then 
again, it may just be Ms. Rowling's way of keeping us pouring over 
the books day after day until book 6 is finally published. :)<<<

Ah yes - went to JKR's site. Did read that young Mark is a nobody. 
Chosing not belive it - wanting him to definitely be somebody - and 
somebody important - as the HBP for example.
He's a kid with a name and too much potential to simply not be 
anybody of significance. 
Don't even care if JKR lied about it on her site and won't blame her 
if it turns out he is someone special after all - and not just 
forgotten in books 6 - 7    ........    :-)
