More name schemes

Personally, I agree with Abby, who wrote:

"As we know that Ron is short for Ronald, couldn't Bill also be short for
William (or something like it)?  It just messes up the whole thing...
W, C, F, G, P, R..?  Ack!  If Bill really is short for William, only
3 of the six boys would fit the theory.
Although, William Weasley would be another to add to the alliteration
list. But I really want there to be a missing Weasley!"

Assuming that Bill really is just Bill, and Percy goes by his middle name,
maybe the the break in the Weasley name scheme is indicative of when the
missing child died or went missing or otherwise ceased to be a part of the
household.  Theory: Sometime between the twins' birth and Ron's, little D.
Weasley disappeared and it was just devastating to Arthur and Molly.  When
Ron was born, they didn't give him an H name, because to continue the
pattern would just be an exercise in futility, now that D. Weasley was no
more.  Ron and Ginny (who also doesn't fit the pattern) may not even know
about D. Weasley.  It's all very sad.

Also - I maintain that Sirius is pureblood, maybe half-blood, although I can
see the evidence that he might be muggle-born.  My support for my position?
His name is Sirius, for crying out loud!  What muggle would name their kid
that?  In my mind, there are two kinds of names in the Potterverse: 'normal'
and 'weird.'  A lot of the 'weird' names seem to end in -us and sound Latin:
Sirius, Remus, Filius, Rubeus, Cornelius, Argus (a squib, but not
muggle-born), Albus, Severus, Lucius.  I like to think that people with
those kinds of names are pureblood or halfblood, although I can't support
that, and there are muggle-born characters with 'weird' names (Hermione -
but that's "not weird, just Greek") and pureblood characters with 'normal'
names (James Potter, Gregory Goyle).
