Potioncat earlier:
 I wonder if JKR is making a sort of pun/word play on 
> Felix and Felis. Which might make the lion-like man Felix Felicis. 
He's 
> a happy, hep cat, man.

Potioncat now:
Although I can't find a Latin dictionary, the word Felicity means 
happiness and the root comes from Felix (Latin for Happy)

So, if instead of Lucky, Felicis has to do with Happiness and if this 
person(?) does become a teacher at Hogwarts, we'll have a real contrast 
between the Happy Teacher and the Severe Teacher.
