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???
