I noticed that too! And I agree with you . . . when Rowling does stuff like that, it's not accidental. She could have come up with a hundred other names. If she used "Evans," there's a reason for it. And notice how Mark is ten, which means he'll be eleven next year . . . coincidentally the same age as Hogwarts' first years? I wouldn't be surprised if we see Mark Evans at Hogwarts next year.
