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 ;)
