Or they've heard them but haven't read them.  I hadn't a clue how to 
spell it when I first heard it, and was surprised the first time I 
read it.  So many possibilities:  Mc/Mac?  One l or two?  I've seen 
McGonagal, McGonagle and McGonigle, too, I think--either on the list 
or in the real world of people named variant-of-McGonagall.
