Weasel Legend - Colours (was: At Flourish & Blotts)

I read on a message board about name symbolism that "Ron Weasley" may have 
been derived from the legend of the Running Weasel, who was very good at 
chess, and killed by a yellow rat. That fits really well with Ron's surname, 
his chess skills and the possibility that he may be killed by Wormtail - 
remember when he tried to turn 'Scabbers' yellow on train in PS/SS?
There's just one small thing - a search of the web has failed to come up 
with any type of 'Running Weasel' legend. Anyone else heard of it?

And Ben, we must be on the same plane of thought - I'm in the middle of a 
list of where purple comes up!
