I completly agree!

And with the being related to a JKR character, I like your twist. I also think if your character is going to be related to a JKR creation, it should be someone who is not so much of a huge deal, or if you still want your character to be related to one of the top guns, make it distant, even change the lastname, as you did . I have seen plenty of Potters and Weasleys(just examples because there are others) and it's quite ridiculous, especially where everyone ties back to eachother in the wizarding families and there are Potters/Weasleys who haven't even come into contact with those other Potters/Weasleys! It's a bit hard to believe, I mean I don't knwo all of my relatives but surely if you live in the same school all year, you're bound to notice you have a surname in common with that kid you sat next to in potions one term. You know what I'm getting at?
