Juno is Hera in Greek Myth, she presided over marrages and was to protect the wives, ironic b/c Zeus was constantly cheating on Juno/Hera.  Any ways, back on topic, I knew minerva was from Roman myth but didn't realize the stuff about Albus, just shows how good of a writer J.K. is being able to slip that sort of thing in.  Oh, Minerva is the ROman conterpart of I think Athena, goddess of wisdom
