This is an interesting thought, given Miss Rowling's love of word play. I
can't see Montague from Romeo and Juliet having much significance since
its a family name for one of the two rival families.

I don't know Winter's Tale. Hermione is not a common name like Ron or
Harry, so perhaps there is significance there. What was the character
Hermione like in that one?

Are there other examples?
