The Power of Names (WAS:[ "Remus Lupin" His Real Name?)

Hi! This is interesting to me. Most of the characters in JKR's universe live up to their names or at least have some qualities of it. Like what Aja stated for example; Sirius means Dogstar, and we know that he is a dog animagus and Wormtail is called "wormtail", because he "ratted" (sp?) the location of the Potters to Voldie etc... It's weird but the names of people(be it in the HP books or real life) have a small or big impact on a person's personality or nature, or if that is not the case; a name of a person is associated with the person's personality. And I think that JKR uses this a lot in naming her characters.
