Colin Creevey
Personality: very excitable
Hobbies: taking pictures, following Harry around
Role model: Harry Potter
Notables: DA member

Lineage: Muggle-born, possibly half, but likely muggle-born. His dad is a milkman, and when he first meets Harry, Colin talks about the amazing things he did that were magic, and how someone explained the concept of wizard cameras to him. Since Colin didn't know about that, I figure he's muggle-born, unless he was simply raised by his father. Also, he was petrified in his first year, indicating that he has some muggle blood.
