Potioncat:
A poisoned mushroom doesn't change its spots, Dave. So, no we can't. 
But, I'd be glad to discuss other topics as well.

Let's try Theodore Nott. Who was surprised that Theodore Nott didn't 
play a bigger role in this book? Or even that we never found out 
about his father's injuries? 

Theo was vaguely described in OoP, even to point of pointedly not 
being named by Hagrid; then was mentioned with Draco reading Harry's 
accusation of their fathers.

 In HBP he's named (or not) under circumstances that tell us
1) He isn't hanging out with the other Slytherins on the train.
2) Because of his father's reputation, he isn't invited to join the 
Slug Club.
3) he isn't mentioned as being in Potions, but could be the 4th 
Slytherin student.

So does anyone think he'll play a part in the next book?

Now, I wasn't looking for this, and there's a long story about how I 
found it (that I won't tell) but here is a little tidbit 
from "Walking the Bridge of Your Nose" uner the chapter Tombstone 
Tomfoolery:

On Mrs Nott
Nott Born.
Nott Dead.
Nott Christened.
Nott Begot:
Lo Here she lies
Who was and 
Who was Nott.

We'll have to wait and see if he'll be: Nott,Important.


Instead of Nott gaining importance, it's Zabini that gets page time. 
We learn that Blaise is Black and that Blaise's mother is a widow 7 
times over. I wonder if all her husbands were named Henry and if 
she's on the eigth one now?
