Antosha:
A very random and possibly pointless thought occurred to me today.
Could there be any significance in the fact that the two antagonists in this series both have
what would normally be considered nicknames?
We know that Tom Riddle is really a Tom, not a Thomas or Tomas because of his
ridiculous little anagram. If he were more than just a Tom, he'd have to stick an extra 'h',
'a', and 's' into "I am Lord Voldemort."
Harry, while somewhat more common as a given name, is also typically a nickname for
Harold or Henry.
Any significance?
Am I just lacking sleep?
