I had mentioned this discussion to my sister before we saw one of 
the Lord of the Rings movies.  She had never read the Rings books, 
and I was telling her about the Wormtail/Wormtongue comparison, and 
she was shocked when we finally met Wormtongue.  "What, while she 
was writing the books, she said, 'I think I will call him... Worm-
tail.' "

:)  Just another similarity.
