Yea, she certainly left a lot of open ends with her 'last' book. She better write that encyclopedia. There is so much to be explained! And, did anyone else catch on that Harry is distantly related to Voldemort? He was a descendent of Pervell too.
Scorpius... How could one family have so many friggin' weird names? Lucius? (I actually like that though) Draco? (WTF?) Scorpius.. that's just.. ah.. little, over the top for them.
Oh ya- does anyone here think Pansy is the one who married Draco? (Unless he found someone who didn't have such an obnoxious laugh)

Urgh, most likely. Rowling has a habbit of naming her characters very significantly. For instance, Lupin = Lupine, which means "dog like" and Remus, as in Romulus and Remus. Two children in greek mythology who were raised by wolves. All in All, a very wolfish name. And as for Sirius Black: Sirius = one of the brightest stars visible from earth, part of the constelation Canis Major (big dog). Sirius is known as the "dog star" his whole name = Black Dog. Go figure. Most their names mean somthing. (I feel smart ^.^)

Haha, ya I suppose. (Does anyone know if Ron has some significant meaning behind it?)
I was looking in a dictionary, and the word 'Ginny' was in there. Of course, I was instantly curious! Guess what? It means someone who has been intoxicated by gin. I wonder if Rowling knows this? She gave one of her characters a nickname that means she's drunk.
Hermione is so odd... Either she made it up, or it has some cool meaning!
Ya, in the seventh one, when they're the radio station Remus even calls himself Romulus. So, she could have even named him Romulus! I wonder why she didn't? Maybe people will realize it a bit more if she gave him such a unique name. I mean, you're mind doesn't jump to other things when you say 'Remus' but 'Romulus' instantly reminds me of something else, which would make me think of the Greek myth.
I mean, Dumbledore even refers to an old English word that means bumblebee! She said she named him this because she always pictured him to be humming.
