Let me fix this, since I've started it there's been a branch shoot out in
the wrong direction. :)  I never intended to translate "Potter" into Latin.
Only to translate Figg into Latin, which came out as "Potter."  I don't
think there's any hidden meaning in Potter itself.  Just trying to clarify,
I've gotten things rather muddled, I do believe. :)
