Puzzle from GoF - tarot

I've been thinking about the very beginning of GoF, the story about 
the deaths of the Riddles 50 years ago.  There are some things in 
that chapter that leave me with the strange feeling that I'm being 
given a clue, but just haven't quite heard it yet.  One that strikes 
me right away is the name of the pub in the village: The Hanged 
Man.  Now, this just doesn't sound like it's there accidentally. I 
know British pubs have all sorts of names, including this one, but 
to me it doesn't sound like the sort of name one would think up if 
you just wanted a random name for a pub.  It would be more like The 
Cross and Crown, or The Boar's Head, or The Rose and Thistle, or 
something like that.  This name has a "meaning" sound, like so many 
of Rowling's names.  And then I remembered that The Hanged Man is a 
tarot card.  I know there are some tarot readers out there; can 
anyone give a description of what this card means, and how it might 
relate to the story?  I did a Yahoo search for it, and came up with 
this:  "the Hanged Man is perhaps the most fascinating card in the 
deck. It reflects the story of Odin who offered himself as a 
sacrifice in order to gain knowledge. Hanging from the world tree, 
wounded by a spear, given no bread or mead, he hung for nine days. 
On the last day, he saw on the ground runes that had fallen from the 
tree, understood their meaning, and, coming down, scooped them up 
for his own. All knowledge is to be found in these runes. 

The Hanged Man, in similar fashion, is a card about suspension, not 
life or death. This is a time of trial or meditation, selflessness, 
sacrifice, prophecy. The Querent stops resisting; instead he makes 
himself vulnerable, sacrifices his position or opposition, and in 
doing so, gains illumination. Answers that eluded him come clear, 
solutions to problems are found. He sees the world differently, has 
almost mystical insights. This card can also imply a time when 
everything just stands still, a time of rest and reflection before 
moving on. Things will continue on in a moment, but for now, they 
float, timeless."

This is quite interesting, but I'd like to hear from someone who 
knows about Tarot, and could maybe give us a more insightful 
interpretation.  On the surface, it seems to tie in with the idea of 
someone sacrificing himself, as we've been discussing with respect 
to Harry.  Could this be a hint of what is going to come, and how 
does the incident in Little Hangleton connect with the idea of 
sacrifice?
