Gielreta:
Actually, the spell that wounded Hermione in the DoM was purple.  I 
don't know what the spell is, but it is obviously quite dangerous.  
Also, JKR has described several things as violent purple, including 
one version of Tonks's hair and the Knight Bus.  Also, the both the 
curse that hit Hermione and the flames in the logic puzzle in SS were 
both described as "purple flames."  Don't know if this helps, but I 
think that purple is prevalent.

Sorry again to butt in late, but yes i agree with Gielreta. It is also known, from science studies at school that purple is the colour purple (no pun intended on the film) that represents "most lethal or most dangerous or most poisoners" (i think we get the idea most). And we all know she is has children and she most probable will know this and that this is universal sign. So using purple for books that have to be read world wide would help in the understanding for them. Especially as a lot is written in the perspective of British so things like this will help more people relate
