Anagrams of Names

  • Harry James Potter is an anagram of Major Threat Persy

    Yes, Percy is really spelled with a 'c', but this could be much like the "Severus Snape/Pursues Evans" anagram. Interesting, interesting...


  • Harry Potter is an anagram of Try Hero Part

    We know Harry likes to "play the hero", so this is an interesting anagram.


  • Ollivander is an anagram of An Evil Lord

    This could mean that Mr Ollivander is not someone to be trusted or is on Voldemort's side.


  • Severus Snape is an anagram of Perseus Evans or Persues Evans or Save Pureness

    The first anagram, Perseus Evans, could mean several things. Perseus was a character in myth that, to put it briefly, went on a courageous quest and ended up killing the God Poseidon to save the princess (Lily?). Also, the character Medusa is linked with the legend of Perseus. Anyone who looked directly at Medusa was turned to stone. Can you say "Basilisk"? Perseus also married Andromeda, who, as we learn in Book 5, is the name of Tonks' mother. Naturally, the Evans part could mean either Snape is related to Lily or had a relationship with her.

    The second anagram, Persues Evans, could mean that Snape went after Lily, either to kill her or to have a relationship with her. The word is spelled "pursues", but this could be a deliberate misspelling.

    As for the third anagram, Save Pureness ... enough said.


  • Tom Marvolo Riddle is an anagram of I am Lord Voldemort

    Obviously, this one has already been given much importance, but it just goes to show that a lot of information can be held in anagrams.


  • Dolores Jane Umbridge is an anagram of Dumbledore goes in jar

    Dumbledore means bumblebee in Old English. Rita Skeeter was a beetle and ended up in a jar. Perhaps there is a link between Dumbledore and Rita? Also an urn is a type of jar where they place the ashes of a cremated body. And Dumbledore's tomb burst into green flame, so his body was cremated. Thanks, Geoff


  • Remus Lupin is an anagram of Primus Lune

    Primus comes from the Latin word meaning first, or beginning, or perhaps full. Lune is the French word for moon. Lupin turns into a werewolf when there is a full moon. Coincidence? -Thanks, Jenny


  • Peter Pettigrew is an anagram of Tip: Pet We Regret

    This really speaks for itself - the Weasleys probably regret keeping Scabbers as a pet for so long and not knowing or realising he was an Animagus, even with his abnormally long life span. -Thanks, Megan


  • Dean Thomas is an anagram of Death Moans

    This doesn't seem like a good sign for Dean. Perhaps the word "moans" means that if he does die, he will come back to haunt as a ghost. Moaning or wailing is usually associated with unsettled spirits, though perhaps the anagram could be hinting more towards him being used as an Inferius after death. -Thanks, Megan.


  • Dean Thomas is also an anagram of Man So Hated

    Poor Dean - none of his anagrams look good. Maybe he just has a very unfortunate name. -Thanks, jwadsworths.


  • Seamus Finnigan is an anagram of Is Unsafe Naming

    Maybe this is hinting that Seamus will be captured by Voldemort's followers and will have to give them names or locations of specific people who are threats. If he is 'unsafe' in doing this, though, he probably won't give anything away. -Thanks, Megan.


  • Bill Weasley is an anagram of Will Ably See

    Though it's unlikely Bill has any Seer blood in him, he might somehow predict what will happen in the battle between good and evil. Or maybe he saw something after being attacked - something that could help Harry in his search. It could also, more obviously, mean that his sight wasn't affected during the attack. -Thanks, Megan and Jen.


  • Arthur Weasley is an anagram of We Salute Harry

    We know that Mr. Weasley will fully support Harry on his quest, so the anagram could mean this. However, in military circles, a salute can be given when honoring the dead. This sounds ominous for Harry if Arthur is saluting him. -Thanks, Megan.


  • Irma Pince is an anagram of I'm a Prince

    Could the "vulture-like" librarian be related to Snape? Both are described as having sharp features and a short temper... - Thanks to everyone who submitted this.


  • Romilda Vane is an anagram of Love in a Dram

    In case any of you don't know what it is, a dram is a unit of measurement. Very appropriate for the girl who tries to slip Harry a love potion. -Thanks, Frank and V.K.


  • Albus Dumbledore is an anagram of Blamed old Rubeus

    What could the Hogwarts gamekeeper have done that Dumbledore blamed him for? Perhaps it goes as far back as Hagrid's third year at Hogwarts, when he was expelled for being suspected of opening the Chamber of Secrets- Thanks to everyone who submitted this.


  • Tom Marvolo Riddle is an anagram of Immortal, Odd Lover

    This is something more than just coincidence - because of the seven Horcruxes he created, Voldemort is immortal. Moreover, Horcruxes are very, very uncommon and rare, and we all know Voldemort has a fixation with trophies, cups and treasured possesions; so "Odd Lover" is applicable to him. He also loves such "odd" things as immortality, power and hating love. - Thanks, Menka
