J.K. Rowling answered the question that many of us has been asking in an interview last week – who was the person that did magic late in life? The answer was no clear once I finished reading Book 7, but that is because Rowling changed her mind about adding that storyline. She is certainly entitled to do so and I don’t feel like any of the story is incompletewith out it, but I am so curious as to who this character was supposed to be and what the storyline that got cut was. Do you think she’ll ever tell?

I wonder that, too. I’d like to think it might have been Aunt Petunia, but it could have been Mrs. Figg. Or Filch.
If JKR does write the encyclopedia she’s talking about, maybe she’ll reveal the answer.

antlou: “at the beginning of Chapter 5 the Fallen Warrior. Harry has crashed the bike and the Tonks rescues him, when he wakes Ted says I fixed your tooth, rib and arm.
if you remeber in OoP Sirius says his tonks mum married a MUGGLE”.

It contains a lot of other interesting facts, by the way.
