Recently, I have adopted an interest in Marlene McKinnon and her family, and with Morag MacDougal. A little bit of back-story on these characters:
Marlene McKinnon was a member of the Order of the Phoenix during the First Wizarding War. She was killed in 1981, and Karkaroff believes she was killed at the hand of the Death Eater Travers. Rubeus Hagrid stated that the McKinnons were one of the most powerful magical families.
Morag MacDougal was a Ravenclaw student who began classes at Hogwarts the same year as Harry Potter. She was seen on Jo Rowling's list of characters in Harry's year in the feature Harry Potter and Me. In the feature, her name is listed as Isabel.
Marlene fascinates me primarily because she was one of the most powerful witches of her time. I am fascinated with all of the members of the Order, but mostly the ones that were killed like the Prewetts and Emmeline Vance and Dorcas Meadowes. I see her as friends with the Potters, and someone very reliable to the Wizarding World. I hope that Jo includes a passage about her in Pottermore.
As for Morag, I just love her name and that she's a Ravenclaw, like me. We don't see her at all in the series besides for when she gets Sorted at the beginning of Philosopher's Stone. Jo Rowling, please incorporate Morag in Pottermore!
