Um - but one of those "super minor" super elite characters is Harry's *father*. This makes Harry himself - like Oliver, the lost foundling - a son of the elite who is finding his way home.

As for Draco, I firmly maintain that the pureblood Weasleys are of higher class than the Malfoys. They have less money, yes, and have fallen in class recently because they are "blood traitors" (whatever that means. The term is never explained). But they are not lower class people. They are just poor.

As for Heathcliff, he is described in the text, I believe, as pale-skinned. I will try to find a quote.
