Right. It's definitely Nott who was injured. But what about the
Baby-headed Death Eater? I know that someone on this list did a lot of
thinking about his identity and came up with either Rabastan Lestrange
(and I don't think it's him because I think he was in a threesome with
Rodolphus and Bellatrix after his partner fell) and one other person
on the list of twelve. But if the names are given after the DE gets
stuck in the time warp or whatever it is, isn't it still possible that
it's Goyle? Otherwise Gregory Goyle's decision to stay on as one of
Draco's cronies doesn't make much sense. Or rather, Draco and Goyld
Jr. might have shunned *him.* There's also the possibility (dare I say
it) of a flint--a simple oversight? JKR intended to include him in
Malfoy's list but inadvertently left him out? (After all, if she can
confuse the order of James' and Lily's deaths--and throw this list
into confusion for two days--she's not infallible.)
Crabbe without Goyle is like Fred without George. Where is he?

who shares Potioncat's concern for young Theo
