A varied post on Latin

Hi everybody!

After taking a week "off" I'm back (and still catching up on 
messages). It's just been a busy week.

Well, this post is on latin and probably should tie into Harry 
Potter.  The first part however errr,doesn't (really). We ,the 1st 
year latin students, have been slaves for the past week to the older 
latin students.  It will conclude with the initiation on tues.  (to 
which we have to to wear togas/tunics...wish me luck!).  I wonder if 
1st yrs. at Hogworts are put through any peer intiation?

We also have to pick latin names.  My choice, "Sirius".  Do you like 
it?

Lastly I was wondering if those of you who are more educated in latin 
than I immediatley picked up on things such as "Remus Lupin" and knew 
he was a werewolf, or associated w/ wolves, all along?


It's good to be back!

Scott
