I just noticed that this was sent to and replied to OT... I think Milz's
comments and my reply are ON topic and belong in HPFGU.

I am confused about the url, since it was accompanied by his comment. HPFGU
or HPAnnouncements?

Here is a question along the same lines. What do we do when we see a letter
that we want to reply to .. and we know it is in the wrong group? How do we
reply to it, so that the person we are addressing sees it ... if one letter
goes to say HPFGU and the reply is supposed to go  to say OT? How do we even
know if the other person is in both groups?

Last weekend, a print in the ladies room of a hotel caught my
attention. The print was a pen-and-ink drawing of the Arch of
Septimius Severus in Rome. Perhaps Rowling named Snape after this
Severus? Could Snape be (somewhat) based upon the Historical Severus?
If so, the next HP books will be VERY interesting indeed!

JKR tells us that she has always collected names. She also likes the Latin
words. She very well could have gotten his name from this Severus.

I also noticed the word, "prefect" and the name, "Albinus."   Albinus =
Albus?

The line about Severus being careful about what he desired to accomplish and
careless about what people said about him is "spot on" about Snape too.

Very interesting read. Thanks.
