I've noticed the various spellings as well, and my guess is that some of
these Listies have read the books in languages other than English, which
have altered at least some of the names. In these cases it would be
difficult for them to know off the top of their heads what the original
English spelling is. Heck, I double-check the spellings of some names as
well, just to be sure.
On that topic, what are some of the changed names that non-English versions
of HP have included? Just curious...and too lazy to look this info up
myself ;)
