Oh, Latin is the BEST subject (apart from Greek!).  It's great for 
learning and understanding how grammar works, for widening 
vocabulary, it makes it easy to learn any Romance language, you get 
to read some amazing literature and it means that you can understand 
most of the names and spells in HP!

the pronunction of Remus - is it RAY-mus or REE-mus ?>>  

It's REE-mus, definitely.
