I never noticed that before. I've always been aware of the H's
(Harry, Hermione, Hagrid, Hedwig, Hogwarts, Hufflepuff, Hooch, etc.),
but there ARE a lot of M's. Minerva McGonagall, Moaning Myrtle, the
Madams (Hooch and Pince), Molly Weasly, even in Hermione, the M is
more prominent that the H (say it out loud and see.) I think the
most amazing thing JK Rowling does, whether conciously or
unconciously, is her creation of names. Each one is wonderfully
perfect for the character.
