he is not  part of The Usual Gang of Idiots (Malfoy's), though from 
a DE  family.  

Potioncat:
It just hit me recently that it's interesting that it was Hermione 
who knew Nott.  (Gad, what a pun that makes!) Of course, she seems 
to know more people than Harry does.  It could be that a smart 
Muggleborn learns who the Slytherins are.  Or it could be that she 
has other classes with Theo, and interacts with him out of sight of 
Harry and possibly Draco.  She doesn't say anything about Nott, and 
I wonder what she knows about him?

Potioncat who does know there is a difficult knot called the 
Theodore Knot (also Fiodore Knot) and hopes his entire name isn't 
Theodore Mark Evans Nott.
