I believe that it's Marcus Flint (Slytherin quidditch captain) who's 
described as looking 'part troll', actually. In the movies this has been 
interpreted to mean he has really bad-looking teeth. ;)

My question on this conversation string is, how is it known that Millicent 
Bulstrode is a half-blood? There's no mention one way or another in the 
books about her parentage (although we know she must be partly of wizard 
blood since she's in Slytherin). I know there's that photograph of J.K. 
Rowling's notebook with its cryptic symbols, but when looking over the notes 
on that in a previous post to this email list, it was noted that the symbols 
next to Millicent's name looked different from the ones next to (among 
others) Seamus Finnegan, who we know is a 'Half & Half'.

I'm a relative newcomer to this discussion list. Can anyone point me in the 
direction of where this parentage theory is discussed, or recap it for me  
here?

Many thanks!
