SSSusan:
I think Neville's a good guess, greenfirespike, but I can certainly 
think of others which would cause Dr. Neil to shudder as well.  Ron?  
Hermione?  *One* of the twins?  Molly or Arthur?  Hagrid?  Lupin (for 
us non-ESE!Lupiners)?

Remember that the "millions of children will weep or rejoice" comment 
is the interviewer's comment, not JKR's herself.  She went on to say 
that Neil's the only one she can tell "because he instantly forgets."  
I know she was probably joshing, but would he forget if it was someone 
as important as one of the trio?  I'm thinking not.  

Or maybe that's just Wishful Thinking talking me out of the 
possibility.
