Potioncat:
When JKR's site opened and she began to wish happy birthdays to 
certain characters, the idea was suggested that the ones who received 
greetings were either 1)good guys or 2)still alive after book 7. So 
there were certain characters I hoped to see. (Even though we have no 
real way of knowing how a character earns a greeting.) It's been over 
a year, so everyone ought to be on it. If there is meaning to getting 
a greeting there could be meaning to not getting one. 1)not important 
enough, 2)a baddie 3)will not survive book 7.

I've not looked to see who is missing. And in this case, the issue 
isn't, do we know the birthday, but rather, did the person get a 
greeting?

Why does this whole idea give me the urge to chew some Droobles Best 
Blowing Gum?
