Now Phil:
I think the most obvious is Merope Gaunt.


Sherry now:

Isn't JKR's word on this that it would be someone late in life?  Tom's
mother would hardly be considered late in life.  My vote is for Mrs. Figg.
I like her, and she's more deserving than anyone else I can think of.  I can
picture a scene in which the death eaters attack Privet drive, Harry is
helpless and Figgy does magic in desperation.  I'd love that to happen!  I
hope very strongly that it is not Filch, because of his desires to see cruel
punishments inflicted on the students.  I tremble to think what he could do
to them if he could suddenly do magic.
