Don't forget Sirius (although could he have chosen his animagus because of his name?).  It's always caused a few giggles around here when we talk of a local dentist named Dr. Yank (true story!) and I've always wondered what would have happened if our local chiropractor, surname Lord, was called to the priesthood. :o)  Maybe Harry will turn toward ceramics?  LOL
