Line 44:
* The aromatic Mundungus Fletcher's first name is an obsolete word for tobacco with an unpleasant odor.
** It becomes more apparent when people use his nickname, "Dung."
** He shares his surname with Norman Fletcher, the career criminal protagonist of [[Porridge]].
* "James" means "he supplanted", and James Potter supplants Snape's place as Lily's best friend before becoming her love interest.
* Voldemort. His name is derived from a French term meaning "flight from death" (though in this case, the french word "Vol" is referring to the literal meaning of "flight"), signifying his goal of immortality {{spoiler|via the Horcruxes.}} Voldemort could also stand for "stealing death", "vol" in french meaning either "flight" or "theft".
