Regulus Black

Hello All

I've just a bizarre idea about Regulus. Don't know whether anyone 
else has come up with this one but here goes:

It's well known that Regulus is in the constellation of Leo so 
Regulus' animagus was/is probably a lion or cat just as Sirius was 
so-named because of the dog-star connection.

If we write Regulus Black as Rs. Black (in the same way that William 
is often abbreviated as Wm.) and then translate Black into the 
French "noir", we get Rs. Noir which is a perfect anagram for Norris!

Perhaps a subplot about Mrs. Norris was removed from the original 
draft of COS. After all, why should Mrs. Norris be petrified  - it 
seems to serve no logical purpose.

Feel free to tear this to shreds because I'm not even convinced 
myself!

Regards
Brian
