Proginoskes Wrote:On an almost completely unrelated tangent, Rowling loves Significant Names: "Albus" means "white"; Minerva was (if I recall correctly) the Roman name for Sophia, the embodiment of wisdom and knowledge; Severus Snape is severe and prone to verbally sniping at people; Argus Filch has a huge collection of confiscated items. So what's with "Arabella Figg"?I do wonder what Doug's reaction would be if he met Remus Lupin and learned that he became a werewolf after being bitten by a guy named Fenrir Greyback. Would he wonder if their being werewolves was somehow fated, or would he wonder if becoming werewolves altered reality in such a way as to retroactively change their names.
