> 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.
