> It's very interesting that you mention this because I remember JKR
telling us to look for patterns in the names. There is also another
story that involves Lucius but this time is in the King Arthur
Legends. King Arthur defeated an Emperor of Rome by the name of
Lucius. So I think that JKR might have had multiply sources of
inspiration for her characters. So maybe Arthur Weasley will defeat
Lucius. Its very interesting that the rivalry between Mr. Weasley
and Lucius Malfoy has been touched on a few times in the books. It
would be a good (maybe justice) if Lucius was defeated by someone he
considered a "blood traitor."

I have never heard of that allusion, but it is very intriguing as
well. I do believe that Rowling borrows from multiple mythologies,
languages, and literatures. She seems to mix traits form several
sources to create her characters. Honestly, before the 6th book, I
probably wouldnt have seen anything in the Lucius Junius Brutus
thing. But now that I thinnk we are supposed to see Draco in a
slightly different light, it just makes one wonder. I like you idea
because it would be soo satisfying to see Arthur get one up on
Malfoy. We arent given much to like about Lucius, but at least we
know that Draco and his mother seem to be willing to die for their
loved ones. I just wonder if Lucius has the same moral fiber.
