Help, I've got another question...

HELP!  I am in a discussion (at work) and don't have a book at hand.  

In OOP, at GP, when Sirius is explaining his family tree to Harry, he 
explains that his mother had blasted several names, including his 
own, off the tapestry for various reasons, mostly betrayal to 
the "Family Values."

Sirius says something about a person (male?) being missing and 
wonders out loud if it was because of
  Then Molly comes in with food 
or some other interruption and he does not finish or expand on that 
person.  

Who was it and why were they blasted off the tapestry?  That part of 
the scene has always set off a yellow flag for me.  JK sneaks in a 
tidbit but doesn't fill in the hold story.  Is this a clue of someone 
who will play a role later or just a stray piece of background?  Is 
that person alive or dead?


ON A TOTALLY DIFFERENT SUBJECT


My off the wall prediction:  I predict HHR will have a reason to go 
into the Hogwarts Cemetery, perhaps to discover Harry's parents 
gravesite, and will find Godric Gryffindor's grave.  Somewhere on his 
headstone will be the words "Half Blood Prince."  And Harry will find 
out that he is a blood descendant of GG, perhaps even heir to some 
Gryffindor secrets (al la COS).  Secrets which were revealed to his 
father, James, and which were a turning point for his father to 
become a "better" person.  The person Lily fell in love with.

Have at it
 ;-)
