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.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Yeah. I need to re-read before I make bullshit guesses. But its such fun!!!
Oooh, in a shocking revelation, could it be Draco?

nah. Draco makes too much of the fact that he's pureblood. Or maybe that's what we're SUPPOSED to think!!
