Very true.  You've written a well constructed theory, and I'd like 
to throw a little additional JKR type astronomical "name" 
information into the mix.  Sirius, the Dog Star, is the brightest 
star in the sky, but it is actually part of a binary star system in 
which two stars exist; Sirius A and Sirius B. One star, a white 
dwarf, is dimmer and less bright than the other. Until the last 
century, it was unknown and hidden behind the brighter star. Given 
JKRs propensity for plot-associated prophetic names, I've been 
wondering if a Sirius B will eventually be revealed to the readers 
as a substitute or reincarnation or alter-ego of Sirius.  Or 
perhaps, dogs, like cats, have more than one life?
