You know, Carol, this one maybe is not JKR's fault :-). I have both 
american and british editions of SS/PS, and Dean Thomas is only 
mentioned in the american edition, not in the british one. So 
originally there were really three kids left. I think that maybe 
american editors added Dean, but forgot to change the number from three 
to four :-).

It has four legs in PS, but three legs in PoA and GoF :-).
