Notice-Me-Not is just a fanon thing? Noooo :-O

I was just searching for info on the Notice-Me-Not charm, and there isn't any, because it's a FANON INVENTION. NOOO! Really? The first webpage I found where someone was asking about it, had some smartarse saying "I think you'll find that's just a sad FAN FICTION thing, you poor deluded fool", I was smirking away: "heh, that's what you think, I have seen it in LOADS OF.....er.... loads of fics. Err. Ahem."

Did you all know this? Who made it up? What other fanon things have become so widespread that they can fool us like this? I know about Tempus, but can you tell me any others?

That would be especially interesting since Rita has curly blonde hair, and JKR seems to loath them both. JKR says Pansy was based on girls who teased her in school, so I have to wonder if one of them had curly blonde hair. o.O Are Luna and Neville the only blondes in canon that JKR means for us to like?
