Gaspard Shingleton is the Wizard of the month at JKR's website. 
Here's the bit about him, which is repeated at the Lexicon:
Gaspard Shingleton -- 1959 – present. Celebrated inventor of the
Self-Stirring Cauldron. There's a picture of him with his cauldron. 
He's a white-haired wizard.

What struck me at once was how old he looked to be so young
and
heck, 
now that I think about it, I assume I have his picture out of
date
is 
the website in 2005 or 1990something? Oddly enough I was at a website 
of apparently young writers who thought he looked pretty good to be 
so old.

Shingleton is on the Chocolate Frog cards, so anyone who cared to pay 
attention would already know about him. What's pretty amazing is
that 
he would most likely have been in the same year as the Marauders.
I'm 
basing this on Snape and Lupin listed as born in 1959/60 and Black, 
Potter and Evans listed as 1960 according to the Lexicon.

He's an inventor. Well, with James and Sirius being the brightest
of 
their year, Lily being such a prodigy at potions and Severus being so 
well versed in Dark Arts and inventing his own spells
.that was
one 
heck of a class!  (So, OK, he could have been a year ahead of them.) 
Not only that, he's still alive. So, where is he? What house was he 
in? Dumbledore's man or pro-Dark Lord. Does anyone know his 
whereabouts or is he missing these days too? Does anyone think he 
could be of any interest?  

Potioncat, the person who thought Agnes, Theo and little Mark Evans 
would be of interest as well.
