<That was really cute - funny, but I always 'heard' Voldemort with a hard 't'
on the end, and Draco to rhyme with Whacko, not Way-co.>
Hey, that guide actually helped...I didn't know I was pronouncing Rubeus wrong ^_^;;; Draco is Latin for dragon - and Draco is the dragon constellation, and both words are Dray-co, so...as for Voldemort, if the 't' isn't pronounced, that means it probably does come from French like it's been rumored...so his name means either 'Flight from Death' or 'Flight of Death', depending which meaning of 'de' you use. Both meanings are pretty interesting, I think ^_^. Maybe Rowling used that dual meaning on purpose.
