Depends on what it's about. A site's name/title should give some kind of 
indication of what it's about (I'll be honest and admit that I've never 
thought much of "the Leaky Cauldron" as representing what that site does).

My thoughts:

"The Pensieve" would make me think of various thoughts/ideas about the 
Potterverse
"Animagi" suggests a limited interest in magical animal life and/or 
transfiguration;
"Riddle House" doesn't really mean much.

Far be it for me to dissuade anyone from creating a new site and please 
don't take this the wrong way, but unless you're going to do something 
original, I'm not sure that the world (wide web) needs yet another Potter 
site. As someone who's set up and/or run several sites on several subjects 
in my time, it's a bit disheartening to put in the great deal of work a 
site demands without the site being popular, and the only way it's going to 
be popular is if it presents material not otherwise available...
