<<Names: I think that Rowlings has some fun pulling references with
names from other places. I know that Nagini, for example, is pulled as
a reference from a real life legend from India. I also noticed the name
of Hermione's cat, Crookshanks.>>

Ms Rowling also makes up names to fit the characters' physical
characteristics. We know that Crookshanks has been described as
bowlegged. Crook = crooked or bowed and shanks = legs. Easy enough!
