camwynFound a song the other day that I absolutely positively HAD to put in John's mouth at some point during Hellblazer: Hogwarts. But something occurred to me about it, and I looked up the album release date.
1997.
Year of the battle at the Ministry in OotP, according to the Lexicon: 1996.
Given that the song is by Captain Tractor, an obscure Canadian band from the Alberta area, there's no way that John would have access to it during his 1997 time at Hogwarts.
But lord, it's such a good song for him...

Captain Tractor
I was there on the day that you died
And I'm the only one here as they bury your hide
And this is the last time I'll be by your side
the world is one soul fewer
The preacher says the last rites so well
Says you're going to heaven and not to Hell
But he has to say that and I know damn well
That you're Satan bound
If you go to Hell
would you get me something nice
Maybe a T-Shirt or maybe a hat
or maybe some loaded dice
If you go to Hell
would you at least send me a card
so I know how you're doing
and I know where you are
You never did care
what the others did think
And you never did care
how much you did drink
And I've got a feeling
that now that you're dead
You won't even remember my name
I used to write and you'd never write back
I'd call on my card and you'd call me collect
You never bought gifts and you never left tips
But it's never too late for a change
If you go to Hell
would you get me something nice
Maybe a T-Shirt or maybe a hat
or maybe some loaded dice
If you go to Hell
would you at least send me a card
so I know how you're doing
and I know where you are
Go to Hell you bastard
Live painfully ever after
You'll burn for all eternity
No one rides for free
There's only one way
to escape Satan's flames
If you're willing to pay
to clear your bad name
This is the place and now is the time
So come on give me a sign
If you go to Hell
would you get me something nice
Maybe a T-Shirt or maybe a hat
or maybe some loaded dice
If you go to Hell
would you at least send me a card
so I know how you're doing
and I know where you are
Burn for all eternity
And save a seat for me
