Potioncat:
Yes, I guess for a while there was a big discussion on whether Blaise 
was a boy or girl. Then it became which of the two vaguely described 
boys was Blaise and which was Theo. At the moment, Blaise is the one we 
know the least about. And that't saying a lot!

There's also been the observation that quite a few Slytherins are named 
after saints. Blaise is one. (or so I'm told.)
