Carol:
It's clear to me that there are ten Gryffindors in Harry's year from
the twenty brooms (Gryffindor and Slytherin in SS/PS) and twenty pairs
of earmuffs (Gryffindor and Hufflepuff in CoS) and the eight boggarts
(ten Gryffindors minus Harry and Hermione) in Lupin's first DADA
class. The two unkonw Gryffindors must be girls because if they were
boys, they'd be in Harry's dorm and we'd know their names. So, yes,
I've always thought there were two unknown Gryffindor girls, and I'm
glad JKR acknowledged their existence even though she forgot to come
back with their names.

Carol, who hopes that someone will submit the best of the 16,000
unanswered questions to JKR and that she'll answer about 200 of them
in the near future
