There is a theory about the "2 book rule," which says that an 
important magic or person is introduced 2 books before it becomes 
absolutely huge. 
GoF --> HBP:
The international wizarding world via the Quiddich Cup 
and the TriWizard Tourney. Beauxbatons and Durmstrung.
Portkeys. Death Eaters ("The One who has left us") and
the Dark Mark. Brother wands. Victor Krum. Veela.
Leprechans. Harry gives Gred and Forge his Triwizard
winnings for a joke shop.

Interesting ............
If this rule is valid, then in addition to the above, the Lovegoods
{and unfortunately, Goyle Sr.) are also first mentioned in GOF.

I have posted about the role of Luna and her dad extensively both
here and in my potterplots yahoogroup. In particular, Luna's dad
will be killed by Goyle Sr. as one of the first, if not the first
victim of the Second War, and Luna will play an important role in
Harry's life during HBP. 
This scenario is now even more probable if the 2 Book rule is valid.
