True, though "major rest therapy" at St. Mungos could be a future plot
point(I doubt "her parrot majesty" will, though). A number of other
characters do anagram interestingly, often aptly.

Lily Potter is 'lilt poetry'. 
Vernon Dursley is both "nervously nerd" and "unnerved or sly". 
Dean Thomas is "not ashamed". 
Dudley Dursley is a "rudely sly dude". 
Remus Lupin is "impulse run", and it's also notable that Remus
anagrams into "serum". 
Peter Pettigrew becomes the interesting "regret, wept, pet i".
Lucius Malfoy is "mucus of a lily"
Hermione Granger is "a reemerging horn".
Not only is Cornelius Fudge "credulous feign", he is also "seducing
our elf".
Gilderoy Lockhart's anagrams are probably best left out of this
post...

The anagrams for Lucius and Hermoine are both phrases I plan to watch
for in future books...
