SO1: Helen Agatha Moon, Halfblood, Age 22
SO2: Daniel Gabriel Steedman, Pureblood, Age 24
Daniel Steedman was raised by his father, Gabriel Lucian Steedman, and his grandfather, Lucian Everett Steedman. Gabriel and Lucian wanted nothing more than a son to continue their line, and when Daniel was born, his mother (a Pureblood witch from a nearly unknown French family) took Daniel's two older sisters, Tabitha and Louisa, and left.
The three men Steedman lived in a large house, not a mansion but not your average house, in England. The family was quite firmly neutral, not just about the war, but about nearly anything one could think of. Daniel was raised in Pureblood circles and made Pureblood friends at Pureblood parties under the watchful eyes of Purebloods' house elves, but as he neared his Hogwarts years he began to play with Muggle children and went to a Muggle school (if only because the Muggle authorities insisted and Lucian Steedman had too many business opportunities in Muggle society to let Gabriel, who was as strongly against the idea as possible while remaining firmly neutral, break ties with the Muggles).
The Sorting Hat had quite a bit of trouble placing Daniel. It initially wanted to place him in Slytherin, but that house was too drastically unneutral. It then offered Gryffindor, but that house was also too unneutral. The boy was simply not suited for Ravenclaw, the only house the family saw as completely neutral, and so he was made a Hufflepuff.
During his Hogwarts years, Daniel was seen by his professors as anything from a "complete and total brat" to an "extraordinarily promising student, with a few behavioral issues". Either way, he was a handful.
In his fifth year Daniel starred as a Chaser for the house Quidditch team, but was replaced the following year after lacking motivation to do anything but play Quidditch. This of course was far from a perfect solution - in fact, the stubborn young wizard promptly took to doing nothing at all.
Upon leaving Hogwarts, Daniel returned to his family home and spent the next year getting thoroughly drunk. His stern grandfather finally kicked him out of the house, leaving Daniel forced to take a job as a store clerk. He of course lost that position with due haste and decided to sober up a bit while working in Rosmerta's.
Once he was off the bottle entirely, Rosmerta gave him a pay bonus and told him to pursue a real career - "Your talent is wasted serving butterbeer to schoolchildren". Nobody was fooled by the stunt, considering it came after he slipped a seventh year a bottle of diluted Firewhiskey, but Daniel took her words to heart and retook his NEWTS (he had failed all but two) before entering Healer training.
