Similar names, Hallowe'en and Trevor the Toad

When re-reading the books some things jumped out at me so I thought I 
would just group them all down in one go.

Similar Names:
I have noticed that JKR has used similar sounding names in certain 
characters whose personality or background is alike.

Remus (Lupin) sounds remarkably like Rubeus (Hagrid).  Both these 
characters are half-breeds, one a werewolf the other a half-giant, 
both which are feared by the wizarding community in general but both 
are great friend with Harry and were with his father.

Severus (Snape) and Sirius (Black) also sound similar.  Both 
characters try their best to protect Harry even though at first they 
both seem to want to kill him.  Both men had very strong feelings 
towards James Potter, one of love one of hate, and even the 
characters descriptions are similar: take away Snapes big nose and 
you have a pale faced man with black hair, almost exactly like 
Black.  It is widely thought by the wizarding community that Black is 
a double-crosser, and we also know that Snape has double crossed 
Voldemort "at great personal risk".  So this is where the 
similarities end but if these characters are similar why not make 
their loyalties so.  Which leads us to three different conclusions:

1. Sirius will remain on the side of good but Severus (who turns out 
never double-crossed the Dark Side) turns out to be a bad guy after 
all, Dumbledore has been mistaken in the past remember.

2. Severus has double-crossed the side of darkness and remains on the 
side of good but Sirius is double-crossing the side of good and is 
really Ever So Evil.

3. They both remain on the side of good but are connected in a way 
JKR has yet to reveal.  Perhaps they are brothers or have been 
swapped at birth (Severus Black and Sirius Snape have a nice ring to 
them).  Then again it could be an even more intriguing reason.


Hallowe'en:
This is a little theory that has been banging about in my head for a 
while now.  Was Harry Potter conceived on October 31st, Hallowe'en?  
The nine months tally in very nicely and although this may be pushing 
it could this date also have been the wedding night of James and 
Lily?  While I am on the subject one thing that has always slightly 
annoyed me was the fact that we know Harry's parents bodies were 
rescued from the house but why has Harry never been shown their 
graves?  Perhaps JKR is saving this emotional treat for a future book.


Trevor the Toad:
Just a small rant but why oh why does Neville take Trevor down to 
potions with him in his pocket.  Surely it would be allot safer to 
leave him in the boys dorm.  Perhaps he has been asked specifically 
to carry his toad at all times and that is why he notices when Trevor 
disappears.  Defiantly significant in the upcoming stories me thinks.


Rant over; feel free to flame me if all this has already been 
mentioned.
