what is a Squib?
A non-magical child in a magical family. They thought Neville was a Squib until someone threw him out a window and he levitated. Or something. Neville's family is weird.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

If I only had a brain...
A friend of mine suggested Flitwick (the goblin professor.)
I'm betting Viktor, the mysterious almost-evil Durmstrang kid. That would explain why the title was considered for Cauldron.

I thought it was Chamber of Secrets she'd almost used it for?

Flitwick's a goblin? Huh. I mean, I know he's small, but I don't think he's a goblin. He's an awfully good-natured one, if that's the case.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm assuming that before she finally plotted out what she ended up renaming ... right? Since it has a lack of princeliness. So it could still be Hagrid, or something, and just royalty deferred.
I'm thinking too hard with too little data.
It's making me light-headed.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I think I'd read it was Chamber.
I think that in the same place she said that book was going to have a lot that ends up important in the end. Me? I think it's talking about Neville.
ETA- Although that wouldn't explain why she'd almost used it for Chamber.

Neville would be fascinating, but I thought it was canon that he was pureblood.

And I read speculation somewhere that it's Seamus, but that actually doesn't fit with the backstory for Seamus that she posted on her website.

Oooh, in a shocking revelation, could it be Draco?
