babyblueblot: 
<snip> Apart from Mundungus Fletcher, can anyone find examples of 
characters outside the school who were once only heard of in passing, 
but were later brought into major events? </snip>

Dantzel: 

1. Sirius Black (Book 1 and finally seen in Book 3)
2. I think Cornelius Fudge (I think mentioned in Book 1 but doesn't appear until later)
3. Rufus Scrimgeour (book 5 and finally seen in book 6)
4. The Lovegoods (mentioned in book 4 but Luna is introduced to us in book 5)
5. I'm sure there's more but I'm supposed to be working!! ack!

Jeremiah:

There are quite a lot, actually, even Ron's dad is talked about on the train and then comes into the picture. To make an off-shoot note, I ws doing a character breakdown over the summer and became overwhelmed because in PS/SS I had around 150 characters listed by the time Harry went to Hogwarts. Nearly all of them have either appeared or are still spoken of in the books.

Dedilus Diggle, Madame Pomfrey, and many, many more.
