Magpie:
Andromeda. Easy name to forget since she's barely a character in the 
story and we never know her house affiliation. We can surmise that she 
should be a Slytherin, but then, people thought that about Tonks too. 
We have to start looking for cameos for characters we barely know 
because for the most part, all the Slytherins are at worst actively 
evil and at best have glaringly obvious flaws that make them jerks but 
maybe learned not to be quite so actively bigoted and evil.
