I proposed this topic on another list, but I want to get your feedback too.
I was reading some theories about Lily being another descendant of Slytherin,
and I was thinking about the Tom Marvolo Riddle/I Am Lord Voldemort anagram.
I realized that "Lily Evans" and "Slytherin" have a lot of common letters.
You can rearrange "Lily Evans" to get SLY__E_IN. It is only missing T, H,
and R. The letters V, A, and L are left over.
If we could fill in a missing middle name, like "Marvolo" was inserted into
"Tom Riddle" to get his anagram, maybe we could get some sort of message
relating Lily to Slytherin. We just need a middle name that contains the
letters T, H, and R (like Ruth, Heather, Harriet, Theresa, or even a
stranger-sounding name like Marvolo is), in which the left over letters can
be combined with V, A, and L to make another word or two.
You just have to think of the anagram first, then work backwards to get the
name. For example, off the top of my head, if the anagram were "A Slytherin
Lives." That takes care of the V, A, and L, so the middle name would have to
be an anagram of T, H, R, I, E, and S. Lily Theris Evans? Or if Lily was
short for Lilyth, then Lilyth Eris Evans? (Eris is the goddess of discord by
the way)
Can anyone think of another anagram that works?
