While we are on the subject of names, a question was asked about the name
"Salazar"..
Which reminds me, I was wondering where Salazar Slytherin's name originates.
I know Slytherin is what a snake does, but does Salazar have any
connotations, or did JKR make it up?
>
I believe it is the name of the former long-term dictator of Portuagal;
didn't I read somewhere ('could be mistaken) that JKR's former husband is
Portuguese and that she spent some time teaching in that country???
