Well, if you don't think that them having the same last name is 
signifigant, then how can you accept any of the other, wilder 
guesses? (Ron being Dumbledore comes to mind, but please 
don't comment about that in this thread).  If DE Nott isn't 
necessarily related to Theo Nott, then what do you think about 
Mark Evans being related to Harry/Lily/Dursleys?  As of now, with 
the library scene, there is more evidence that DE Nott is Theo 
Nott's father than there is about any relation between the Evans 
we know of.

And in a related issue.... is there any mention in any of the books 
that two wizards/witches/ANYbody have the same last name, that 
aren't related?  The only other instance I can think of is the 
Warbeck's, but there has been almost nothing about them 
anyhow.
