<<Will there be, or have there been, any "late blooming" students in 
the school who come into their magic potential as adults, rather 
than as children? <snip>

<snip> No, is the answer. In my books, magic almost always shows 
itself in a person before age 11; however, there is a character who 
does manage in desperate circumstances to do magic quite late in 
life, but that is very rare in the world I am writing about. >>

IIRC the part about the bit in CoS being important later on is from 
the interview with JKR and Kloves on the DVD of CoS.
