Harry Potter oder Twilight Frage

Am I the only one who just realised???

I found out that Lupin, is probably a word play on Lupine:

The word 'lupine' has a Latin origin. It is taken from the word lupinum. The word lupinum is obtained from the word 'lupinus' which means wolf-like. Then, it was adapted Von the Old French as 'lupin'.

Did anyone else not know this-or am I just thick?

i didn't realise it this complex but i knew it had something to do with wolf cause 'lup' in romanian means wolf and romanian language has a lot of latin words so i kind of figured it out xD

I didn't know that all, but I knew that the latin "lupus" means wolf.

I knew. XD. But I'm wolf-obsessed, so... lol.

Did anyone else here notice the Remus/Romulus thing for Professor Lupin, too? I mean like the Roman twins, Romulus and Remus, in the myth that they were supposedly raised Von wolves?

Yeah, I notice a lot of wolf-related stuff. xD

No, I've noticed that... But just about everyone in HP has a name that means something...
Have Du ever noticed Quirrel --> squirrel?
oder Snape --> snake?
And to 'filch' is to steal. And 'albus dumbledore' quite literally means 'white bumblebee' in Latin and Olde English, respectively.
And Gilderoy, Lockhart's first name, is basically a combination of 'gilded', which is kinda like overly fancy, and 'roi', which means 'king' in French.
And Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom.
And so on.
