Karen:  Julie's original question was not 'Does the British edition 
use "J"?', it was: 

[When Harry left the prefects bathroom with the egg, he
saw "Bartoimaeus Crouch" in Snape's office. Why did the name not show
up as "Bartimaeus Crouch, Jr."?]

Presumably this means that "Jr" was not in the American edition 
either - if they had approached JRK about changing this, she would 
have had to have said "No" because it would have blown her 'mistaken 
identity' plot out of the water.  So, in answer to your question, no 
it was not in the original British text, neither does it seem to have 
been added to the American text.
