Good catch. I don't think any muggle would name his/her son Severus
or Sirius, at least if JKR has thought about this issue. She chose
those names for different reasons though.

And Voldemort was dark haired and good looking, too, at least in
his youth. Does this mean they are related? I really don't think
so.

Hm, I can't give you the exact reference, but I think it is is PoA.
That is the last one I have listened to recently, and somewhere it
is mentioned that Snape is gaunt. Maybe in the scene with the
Marauder's map when he gets insulted, but I'm not sure and I can't
look it up right now, sorry. But it *is* mentionend somewhere.
