Prediction about book 6 (old SPOILER from JKR website)

No: HPFGUIDX 132379

This excerpt of book 6 was released on J K Rowling's website on August 
16th. 

"(He) looked rather like an old lion. There were streaks of grey in 
his mane of tawny hair and his bushy eyebrows; he had keen yellowish 
eyes behind a pair of wire-rimmed spectacles and a certain rangy, 
loping grace even though he walked with a slight limp."

It must be a description of a new character. Its highly likely that 
this new character is the new defence against the dark arts teacher, 
or it could be the half blood prince. (or maybe even both?) I think 
this character is going to be a decendant of Godric Griffindor. (to be honest, my only reason for thinking this is because he looks like a lion) Another theory i have is that Harry is also a decendant of 
Griffindor. Firstly because red sparks are always coming out of his 
wand. another reason is that his parents were living in a village 
called 'Godrics Hollow'. I dont think its any coincidence that the 
names are the same (i don't think there are any coincidences in these books!) another clue is that harry produced Griffindor's sword out of the hat in book 2. 
I think this new character in the description could be harrys 
grandfather, or great uncle or something like that. I read somewhere 
that were going to learn more about Lilly Potter in the next book. i 
think that we'll probably find out that she is the decendant of 
Griffindor. Also, its often mentioned in the books that Harry has 'His 
mothers eyes' i think this is going to be significant. 
Of course, i'm probably wrong, but thats just what i thought when i 
read that description. What did anyone else think? i get the sense 
that this character is going to be a 'goodie' and not a 'baddie'.
