It may also point to how James bullied other students or help defy 
Voldemort.  Or, bibically,  This:


James - (1.) The son of Zebedee and Salome; an elder brother of John 
the apostle. He was one of the twelve. He was by trade a fisherman, 
in partnership with Peter (Matt. 20:20; 27:56). With John and Peter 
he was present at the transfiguration (Matt. 17:1; Mark 9:2), at the 
raising of Jairus's daughter (Mark 5:37-43), and in the garden with 
our Lord (14:33). Because, probably, of their boldness and energy, he 
and John were called Boanerges, i.e., "sons of thunder." He was the 
first martyr among the apostles, having been beheaded by King Herod 
Agrippa (Acts 12:1, 2), A.D. 44. (Comp. Matt. 4:21; 20:20-23). 

(2.) The son of Alphaeus, or Cleopas, "the brother" or near kinsman 
or cousin of our Lord (Gal. 1:18, 19), called James "the Less," 
or "the Little," probably because he was of low stature. He is 
mentioned along with the other apostles (Matt. 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 
6:15). He had a separate interview with our Lord after his 
resurrection (1 Cor. 15:7), and is mentioned as one of the apostles 
of the circumcision (Acts 1:13). He appears to have occupied the 
position of head of the Church at Jerusalem, where he presided at the 
council held to consider the case of the Gentiles (Acts 12:17; 15:13-
29: 21:18-24). This James was the author of the epistle which bears 
his name.

Or he was simply named after King James.
