Just finished watching "The Secret Garden", and was struck by some
similarities between one of the main characters and Colin Creevey.

1. First of all, the names.  The Secret Garden character's name is
Colin Craven.

2. Both Colin Craven and Colin Creevey are small, mousey children,
perhaps a bit naive and definitely socially inept.

3. Colin Craven spends a good deal of the story in his bed, unable to
walk, due to a mysterious (imagined) disease.  Colin Creevey spends a
good deal of "The Chamber of Secrets" in his (hospital) bed, unable to
walk due to a mysterious petrification.

4. Colin Craven takes to photography, and makes a few interesting
discoveries while looking through his lens. And Colin Creevey, well,
you know...

Just thought I'd share this bit, as it's always nice to see where JKR
is coming from.
