A nice theory about the source of a minor character name:
Augustus / Algernon Rookwood, Death Eater and Traitor.

I found an old article on the BBC News website, dated Wednesday, 29 
March, 2000:

School bans Harry Potter

A primary school head teacher is banning pupils from reading the best-
selling Harry Potter children's books because she says they go 
against the Bible's teachings. 

Carol Rookwood, head of St Mary's Island Church of England Aided 
School in Chatham, Kent, says the nature of the stories does not fit 
in with the school's "church ethos". 


Is it a coincidence J.K. was finishing GoF that year, and a Death 
Eater appears with the surname Rookwood, which is pretty unusual?
