2. Severus Snape: Severus means stern in Latin, which matches Snape's character quite well. Snape is only one letter away from the word snake in English! No wonder Snape is the Dean of Slytherin.
3. Minerva McGonagall: The usual translation is Minerva, the goddess of wisdom in Roman mythology, or Athena, the goddess of Greek mythology.
4. Hermione: from the pronunciation it can be judged to have been translated from the great name of Hermes, the famous messenger of the gods on Mount Olympus in Greece. Today's popular field of philosophy "hermeneutics" was also born from the name of Hermes. No wonder Hermione is known for her wit and wisdom in the novels, and many difficult mysteries can be solved by her hands.
5. Lemus Lupin: Lupin comes from the Latin root LUP, which means wolf - LUPINE is "people like wolves" and LUPUS is "jackal". It is said that the inhabitants of the Normandy region of France sometimes called the werewolf "LUPIN"! Lemus is even more interesting, it's the name of one of the twins fed by a she-wolf in Roman legend, cute little wolf cubs!
6. Sirius Black: SIRIUS is, of course, Sirius, and Black is "black". He's a big black dog after he transforms this.
7. Peter the Dwarf: The name Peter is so common that it doesn't seem to have any special meaning. Pettigrew means "very small," and the name can be broken down into PET I GREW, which means something like "I've become a pet!
8. Argus Filch: Filch is the verb "to steal", while Argus is the 100-eyed gargoyle of Greek mythology.
9. HAGRID: According to Rowling, HAGRID is an Old English word for "bad night" or "bad night's sleep".
10. ALASTOR MUDDY: ALASTOR is the Greek mythological demon of vengeance, and MUDDY means moody in English.
11. Prof. BINNS: BINNS is pronounced very close to BEEN and is the past participle form of the verb BE in English. This professor is already a ghost and is indeed in the past tense!
12. Tom Riddle: RIDDLE means "riddle" in English, and when I saw this name, I knew that Rowling was going to play word games.
13. Voldemort VOLDEMORT is from the French VOLE DE MORT, that is, "the flight of death" or "flying away from death". No wonder the old comrade Voldemort thought about immortality all day long.
14. DUDLEY: DUDLEY is a variation of the British slang word DUD, which means boring.
15.Aunt Penny: PETUNIA means petunia, and her sister. Harry's mom Lily's name means lily of the valley. Petunia symbolizes anger and hatred, while lily symbolizes purity.
16. Malfoy: MALFOY is a variation of the French word MAL FOI, meaning bad faith. The family are Death Eaters, all believing in black magic. And Draco. Malfoy: DRACO is Latin for dragon, and dragons are associated with Satan in the West. Draco was also the name of an extremely brutal legislator in ancient Athens.
17. Lucius. Malfoy: LUCIUS and LUCIFER are very connected, as is Draco. Lucius was also the name of a very brutal legislator in ancient Athens.
18. Narcissa. MALFORD: NARCISSA comes from the Greek mythological figure of the young man who had a narcissistic complex and fell in love with his own shadow in the water.
19. Luvvie (Hagrid's three-headed dog): (fluffy) meaning "furry".
20.Hedwig: is the name of a 12th century German female saint.
21. GRYFFINDOR: The name GRYFFINDOR is derived from the French word GRYFFIND'OR, meaning Golden Gryphon. The Gryphon was a half-lion, half-eagle creature in Greek mythology, and was later commonly used in Christianity as a symbol of Jesus because it represented control over the earth (the lion) and the sky (the eagle).
22. Slytherin: SLYTHERIN is a change from the English SLITHERING, the word means slithering, often used to describe snakes. The symbol of Slytherin is the snake, the symbol of silver!
23. RAVENCLAW: RAVENCLAW, the direct translation is the dodo's paw. The symbol of Ravenclaw house is the eagle.
24. Hufflepuff: HUFFLEPUFF, from the English HUFF and PUFF. two words are related to blowing, I do not know what the connection. The symbol of Hufflepuff College is Badger.
25. Muggle: MUGGLE is a variation of the English slang word MUG, meaning fool.
