anagrams, snape and animagi

Hi everyone,

I've been lurking on this board for several weeks now, searching the 
archives and rereading the HP books and I finally feel ready to post 
a few of my own questions.

1.  Does anyone know what the "J" in Remus J. Lupin stands for?

2.  I don't really like the idea of Snape(easily my favourite 
character) being a vampire.  I do however concede that there are a 
few references to him swooping around like a bat but I'm choosing to 
interpret them as a possibility that he is another unregistered 
animagus (and the form he takes is a bat).  It seems that the 
ministry isn't doing too good a job keeping tabs on their animagi 
(with at least 4 that I can think of - James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, 
Rita Skeeter and Sirius Black running around unregistered).

3.  I found an few anagrams for potions master that I thought were 
kind of interesting:  I am potter's son.
                      Poison matters.
                      I start on poems.(one of my favourite passages 
in PS is his poetic introduction to potions)
I've also been thinking that avada kedavra might be part of an 
anagram but I haven't been able to come up with anything yet. 

Cheers,
Marcia
