Sorry, but even after all the discussion, I still can't see why JKR 
(or Sirius) should have chosen that particular name.  They are both 
English (as I am) and I think to most English people, the verb "to 
snuffle" suggests someone speaking through a heavy cold, or in the 
aftermath of a prolonged fit of crying.  It has a rather Uriah 
Heepish feel about it.  I would have expected something a bit more 
elegant for Sirius, even at his most run-down.
