(my reddit thread `of the same name`_)

That is `Lisa Turpin`_ and `Dick Turpin`_. I am not sure where to
go with it, just a thought. Perhaps just that not everybody at
Hogwarts is so boringly middle-class bland?

Also Harry and Theodor are descendants of Dick Turpin's partners
in crime, Stephen Potter and Robert Nott.

The dates would also make sense because they part of the
generation born immediately after the statute of secrecy
was established. They grew up in households with generally
anti-Muggle sentiments they thought they could make a quick buck
if they used their unfair advantage to rob Muggles.

Eh, aren’t they all characters of a book called “Rookwood_”?

(my comment: there is also `Ambrose Rookwood`_, but he was part
of the Gunpowder Plot, so roughly hundred years earlier).
