Perhaps the ID is assigned in a manner analogous to the sorting 
hat.  There could be some magical device that is able to read a 
prisoner's character and personality and assign an ID
accordingly.  
The fact that the rune meanings have positive connotations that 
would be known in the WW is not necessarily a problem.  It is human 
nature to interpret something based on a preconceived idea about a 
person or situation.  I don't pretend to know anything about
runes, 
but I have read the posts concerning their meanings.  For exmple, 
maybe everyone assumed that the gift or exchange was in connection 
with LV.   Certainly the people that knew the full extent of what 
Sirius was thought to have done of would have a basis to believe 
that - Sirius gave the Potters to LV.   Just a thought.
