Walter Staghart
That’s a relief! I’ve been a bit overwhelmed, so good to find another relatively new face :D
Walter and Ned would definitely know/be aware of each other. They probably move in different social circles (because of blood/class), but if there was some reason for them to work together more closely Ned would definitely come to appreciate Walter’s no-nonsense approach.
Terence wouldn’t exactly be Ned’s first pick as a son-in-law, but I guess he could be getting desperate :D But by that same logic I could see Ned trying to offer up his daughter to Walter, if he somehow managed to make an impression at work. Ned would rather have his child marry a sensible auror than an artist (gasp!), for sure.
And as for Edgar, he would perhaps be the type to acquainted with Ned’ brother. Glen's status these days is still a bit open (=I haven’t made any definite decisions on how low he has fallen, or whether he’s still alive or not…), but I guess it’d be safe to say that he and ‘Leon’ have met at some point. It could make a meeting between Edgar and Ned interesting, in turn (since both might make some false assumptions of what the other one knows)?

I think Evander might be Ned’s soulmate, so 100% agreed! And my first though is, Ned has a lot of conflicted feelings about Evander’s marriage (which is quite recent, right?)
And yess I also absolutely love the idea that Ester is somehow familiar with Ned’s brother. She’d also remind him of his wife, so she’ll absolutely push all his buttons by simply existing. So a thread with her could be gold.
As for Ewart and Trystan, I think Ned would try to do his best to avoid both! He’d remember Trystan from Hogwarts, for sure, and associate him with all those characteristics of the house that he dislikes (bonus points because Trystan’s an auror, which isn’t really a plus in Ned’s books). Trystan’s too much like Ned’s brother (probably - truthfully I don’t have a super clear picture of him yet :D), and Ewart is just too much, period. So I'm of course all in for any ideas where Ned would have to co-operate with either.

Percy seems like someone Ned could get along reasonably well. Also their fathers seem to share age & career path, as well as parenting style, so they might’ve been at least acquaintances (if not even friends)?
As for the ladies, Ani could mesh well with Ned but both her and Dahlia might be a young for him. I’m not super picky about age, but they are both younger than his daughters. How very scandalous.
