.Me:
I just think it's a telling name (stylistic feature of literature).
BTW who would name their son "the white" (=Albus) or something that has to
do with Lucifer (=Lucous) or dragon (=Draco, it's Latin!).
Maybe it was just some kind of a weird kind of taste for Lupin was of course
the childs last name...
BTW JKR uses some funny last names (Dumbledore = bumblebee in old English).
