Goddlefrood:

Referring to William II, no doubt. Rufus only means red-haired, 
thus, like the Weasleys or said Norman King. Besides, Scrimgeour 
was a relatively minor character first mentioned in OotP. The 
theories based on alchemy to predict death all (pre-DH) looked 
at major characters, of whom Scrimgeour was not one.

So, may I ask your point?

very thin straws.
