Christine asked about the meaning of Harry's name.  I suggested an 
answer (repeated below) in post #40968.


 "Harry" is a nickname for the 
devil (Old Harry.) And "Potter" is often used as a name for the 
Creator. Thus the main character's name signifies that both good and 
evil can exist in one person, and war within him.
