Geoff:
Then again, the two names have their own meaning. "Voldemort" is 
French for "flight of death" and "Dumbledore" is an Old English word 
for "bumblebee". The latter is personally interesting because in the 
village in which I now live, there is a house called "Dumbledory" - 
the name had intrigued me. Now it makes a bit more sense....
