In one of Rowlings chat sessions she said something to the effect of 
if you look up names and spells in Harry Potter you may learn 
something or know more about the characters or something like that.  
Well, I looked on the internet for places you can translate Latin to 
English and I found several but you had to know how to seperate roots 
of words and I dont know how.  I was wondering if anyone did or knew 
a good site for finding out information for that or a good latin 
site.  Thanks!
