Katey wondered (re: Perseus Evans = Severus Snape):
Where did you hear that?  Because that's the same thing with Riddle's letters rearranging to say I Am Lord Voldemort.  Is Perseus Evans someone in British folk tales?  Also, could a nickname for Perseus be Percy?  Just some thoughts, I don't know where to go with them.<<<<<<<<<<<<

Well, Perseus is a figure from Greek mythology, a hero who among other things killed a sea serpent and Medusa the Gorgon, the latter of which was a woman-type monster with snaky hair (as in, snakes for hair.) Snakes for hair, hm? Sounds interesting :-)

The only thing with Severus being a possible "relation" to Lily is that Petunia never mentions him -- she reserves all her hate for her sister. Maybe Severus would be a cousin or more distant relation but still with the Evans name? Hm. ::ponders::
