Character:Avery, Sr.

From UnknowableWiki

Avery was one of the students who attended Hogwarts with Tom Marvolo Riddle. He was a member of the Slug Club; Slughorn once threatened him with a detention if Avery did not hand in an essay in time. It is very likely that Avery belonged to Voldemort's circle of followers at Hogwarts. They were the first to call him by his new name, and some of them became the first Death Eaters after graduation (HBP17).

He is possibly the father or another close relative of the Death Eater Avery, who went to school with Severus Snape and the Marauders.
