Bart:
This appears to be yet another factor which makes me believe that 
Rowling has read more of the Narnia series than she claims. While there 
were a couple of learned centaurs in Greek Mythology (notably Chiron), 
Rowlings centaurs seem remarkably similar to Lewis' centaurs, especially 
from the later books in the series.
