Thanks for the information. It looks to me as if Tracey Davis did not
materialize and has probably been crossed off the list. As I noted
before, Terry Boot's name was originally Trevor (like Neville's
toad!). In other words, interesting as this information is as a
reflaction of JKR's thought process, we can't trust it as definitive
regarding the characters as they are actually depicted in the books.
At best we can say that Millicent Bulstrode *may* have only one wizard
parent and that JKR considered this parentage for her.
