Veruca is Greed. The rest seem correct. There is really no child that represents Lust, Wrath, or Envy. Interesting fun fact: there were several early draft of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The first had 10 children: Augustus Pottle (prototype Augustus Gloop) and Miranda Grope, who both fall in the chocolate river; Wilber Rice and Tommy Troutbeck (prototype Mike Teavee), who ride in wagons that go to the pounding and cutting room; Violet Strabismus (prototype Violet Beauregarde) who eats a chewing gum meal and turns purple; Clarence Crump, Bertie Upside, and Terence Roper, who eat too many warming candies and overheat; Elvira Entwhistle (prototype Veruca Salt) who angers the squirrels in the nut room; and Charlie Bucket (prototype Charlie Bucket, obviously) who gets stuck in a chocolate statue but witnesses a buglary and gets a reward. Later, he cut the kids down to 7 and gave them each more distinct characteristics. 5 of them are the same as in the final book, Augustus Gloop, Violet Beauregarde, Veruca Salt, Herpes Trout (name changed to Mike Teavee in the final version), and Charlie Bucket. The other two are Marvin Prune, a conceited boy that we don't know what happens to, and Miranda Mary Piker, a headmaster's daughter who is allowed to do anything she wants and gets in trouble when she tries to break Mr. Wonka's Spotty Powder machine, which makes a candy that temporarily gives you a spot like rash so you can miss school (much like the Weasly Twins made in Harry Potter). This version is also where Charlie's grandparents and the Oompa-Loompahs (then called the Whipple-Scrmpets) first appear.
