<<Names being what they are, there must be some reason his name is
'crumb'. Presumably JKR's reason was to mislead us readers to expect
that his behaviour would be crummy.>>

This name has had me puzzled for ages. I can't find a decent Bulgarian
dictionary online, no chance of finding one in my local library, it's
not Russian and I have no idea what it means. It's not even an obscure
English word. However, I don't think it has anything to do with 'crumb.'

I haven't noticed any misleading names in HP, actually. Normally they
contain insights into character (which is why I spend so much time with
the dictionary trying to work out what they mean).

So, if anyone here knows what Krum means in any language, I'd love
to know!
