I just noticed that JKR has identified canon!Draco’s wife (which is glimpsed at and never named in the epilogue of Deathly Hallows) as “Astoria Greengrass”, Daphne Greengrass’s younger (by two years) sister.
I wonder if Eliezer knew of this, and if that’s part of the reason he made House Greengrass a “Noble and Most Ancient” one...
Pretty much all first-year student characters of HPMoR with significant roles existed in canon, at least as names (most of their personalities were not detailed in canon) -- that most definitely includes the entirety of SPHEW, and other important-to-HPMoR figures like Blaise Zabini, and even less important figures like Kevin Entwhistle.
I was just wondering whether the specific making of Greengrass into a “Noble and Most Ancient House” was decided by Eliezer because JKR married off her Draco to a Greengrass family member. Or if it was just a coincidence.
The “I learned” is redundant, unless you mean that you learned that you just learned what TIL means, in which case you could have prefaced it with a ‘that’.

TIL that Daphne Greengrass and Tracey Davis exist in canon, and were not created out of whole cloth by Eliezer for Methods.
You might find this site helpful to keep track of canon characters: http://familytrees.genopro.com/harry-potter/
I recommend EY to visit it too if possible, since he hasn’t read the last few books, this might bring him to date with new developments.
Hmm. That’s interesting, but its interestingness is damaged by the fact that it lists neither Davises nor Greengrasses.

edited to add: TIL I learned what TIL means.

I kid, I kid.
