Another anagram for Ollivander is "naive droll". Droll nowadays
means "amusing in a wry or odd way". However in early 17th century
usage (Middle Dutch) it meant imp or goblin. Naive nowadays means
extremely simple and trusting: having or showing an excessively
simple and trusting view of the world and human nature, often as a
result of youth and inexperience. However, in good old 17th century
usage (French, Latin, English) it meant "born"! hhhmmm.... born
goblin?
Lynnette, who thinks Snape is a good guy, even if he is not a nice
guy!
