<<'Rogue' for 'Snape' ... Humm... You know what : I can't even remember
is 'Rogue' is actually a French word !! But it does sound like 'rogne',
which is 'bad temper', and like 'rugueux' which is 'rough'.>>

I looked up 'Rogue' in a French dictionary online, and found that it means
'arrogant.' Makes sense for Snape!

BTW, seeing as JKR is a French teacher, does anyone think she had some
input into the French translation?
