Who is the HBP & link between books 2 & 6?

No: HPFGUIDX 125983



This is my first post here and I am posting in response to the poll 
on the subject as neither of my two choices are listed.  I have 2 
possible candidates for the HBP, assuming he is an existing 
character.  One is Justin Finch-Fletchley.  This is on the basis 
that he said his name had been down for Eton although I do suspect 
this is probably a red herring.  The other is Colin Creevey.  This 
is because JKR did say we'd be *extremely* surprised by his 
identity, and there doesn't seem to be another reason for him to be 
there!

Also, I don't think this has been discussed before, not recently at 
least: JKR has said that there is a very strong link between book 2 
and book 6 and I was reading through some of her interviews and 
someone asked her if we would see Aragog again and she said "Yes".  
I can only assume that this is the link, so what could his 
involvement be?
