> There must also be some meaning behind Luna's name, Luna meaning 
the moon.  I haven't quite had enough time to ponder about that, but 
there is definitely a signifigance. Your thoughts???? <<<

 Angel adds:
Connotations of the moon - something silvery. I'm wondering if this is 
part of Harry's Slytherin side coming out. The moon tends to change the landscape around it, bringing out the hollows of the landscape. 

The silvery glow is from the reflected light of the sun - without the 
sun, there is no moonlight. This is also the connotation of 'Lunatic' 
which she seems to play up to.
