Potioncat:
Since we know JKR hemmed and hawed about teacher's being married, 
someone is/was and it will be important.  I'm betting on McGonagall 
or Snape.

Minerva could be a widow.  And she could wear the McGonagall tartan 
in memory of her husband.  Her maiden name could be important...or 
it could be just another Evans.  I'm wondering if it's Prewett. 
(sp)  Didn't Molly once call her Minerva? Oh, never mind on that 
one,  Fred and George would have been calling her Aunt Minnie in 
that case.
