I have learned that there are no such things as coincidences in 
Rowling's books.  Even if Evans is a common last name...she took the 
time NOT to use it anywhere else in the 5 books. 
Plus...he doesn't have to be related to Harry in ANY way...like 
we've been saying...it's a common last name, so Rowling might have 
used it to tip us off..make us remember it without there being any 
relation to Harry...Interesting, don't you think....
As for any other ideas....no way can it be Tom Riddle...he's the one 
who tells us at the end of 2 that he is Lord Voldemort...
Colin Creevey popped into my head....he showed up during COS...and 
since the title of book 6 seems to be an attachement to the second 
book, maybe Colin has somethign to do with it.
