JK Rowling Had To Rewrite 'The Goblet of Fire' Finale To Fix A Mistake About James
From Redditor u/asocialbookworm:
In the first printed editions of Goblet of Fire, JK accidentally wrote James re-appearing from Voldemort's wand before Lily, falsely signaling that James died after Lily did. The fans bombarded JK with questions. She admitted it was a mistake and the editions from that point on were fixed.

Mr. Weasley Was Only Saved From Death Because Harry Was Losing Too Many Father Figures
From Redditor u/colourandcinema:
I once read in an interview with JK Rowling that the reason she changed her mind about killing off Mr. Weasley after the snake attack was that of all of Harry's father figures who die, it didn't seem fair to kill the one who was the least flawed.

Lucius Malfoy Is So Rich Because His Family Worked With William The Conqueror
From Redditor u/TeamStark31:
On Pottermore it says one of the Malfoy ancestors did probably shady deeds for King William I, and that’s how they got their land. Maybe fortune as well, possibly well invested over time.

Lucius Has Half-Bloods On The Malfoy Side Of The Family Tree
From Redditor u/EveryoneBleeds:
Well, I think it's safe to assume that his mother was one of the main pureblood families (there's a whole list on Pottermore), though it's also mentioned that the Malfoys have the occasional half-blood in the family tree.

Lucius Malfoy's Descendants Pursued Queen Elizabeth I
From a former Redditor:
Though hotly denied by subsequent generations, there is ample evidence to suggest that the first Lucius Malfoy was an unsuccessful aspirant to the hand of Elizabeth I, and some wizarding historians allege that the Queen's subsequent opposition to marriage was due to a jinx placed upon her by the thwarted Malfoy.
