Hi, this is my first time posting(actually I just joined). 

I am of the feeling that the HBP is someone that we haven't seen 
before, or someone we have only seen in passing. The only other book 
whose title concerns a character, POA, is about someone we've never 
even heard of before. Up until POA we never knew who Sirius Black 
was. JKR also has a way of creating characters that she needs to 
play a relevant role in one or two books. She created the Crouches 
for GoF, as well as Moody, and she created Sirius for POA. And TR 
for CoS. I know that these characters couldn't all have been thrown 
in during the course of PS or CoS, but she does have the precedent 
of throwing new characters into the books at will. As I said, I will 
not be entirely surprised that this HBP is someone we've never heard 
of, or someone who has, until now, played a minor role. And I'm not 
quite sure that this Mark Evans kid is someone who will ever play a 
major role. It just seems wrong that he will be related to Lily, it 
seems too predictable for JKR's writing. Though JKR never really 
mentions someone without having them play a role, I don't see Mark 
Evans as an important role. Of course, I will be the first to eat my 
own words if Mark is the HBP.
