Most of my ladies (why are HALF of my characters women aged 26-27??) were at school with him for 2-3 years. None of them are solid connections but if you want Meri could have had a vision about him turning? Open to whether or not she might have tried to warned him. Thistle was the only one in his house but her sense of self preservation would probably get in the way of any kind of friendship.
Jack is Jack as always. He'd be be hella nervous around him but feel a responsibility to protect people from him but also be at least civil if not nice to him.
Alexander would think it was the coolest thing in the world to meet a vampire while out roaming hogsmead during his orphanage days. Idk what this does for you now but he probably would have asked him questions about vampire life and the caverns and stuff once he got past the initial fear reaction.
