This thing about translated names and their meanings may be true. I'm spanish and i've read hte books in catalan and french and many names change when they've inner meanings. The one I haven't really been able to understand, though, is the name if Hogwarts in French: Poudlard.

Hey I took my Latin exam this morning and guess what i stumbled across in my dictionary:
albus, 3 - white; bright; luck-bringing, nice, pleasant, good.
Or something like that i can't remember all the meanings now and translate them from Croatian... but it's pretty much Dumbledore-the-good-guy, huh?! Hey i should study Latin more.
