Hi all,
I don't know whether anybody has suggested this elsewhere, because
I do not keep up with the etymology lists on the net, but the
etymology for Kreacher seems to me this. Kreacher, seems to be merely
a different spelling for the word 'creature'. Since Kreacher is
supposed to be what he is because of the (can we call it that?)racial
discrimination shown towards him by the other wizards.
Well, 'creature' seems to be the word that is used when you do not
look upon others as well as yourself, when this class of being is
upposed to be somehow lower than yours. When you hate somebody for
belonging to a certain class, they become 'creatures', don't they?
Um, that's it. It occured to me the first time I read the book but
I didn't know whether one posted things like this to the group.
Bye,
Adi
