Those names are half made up. Look at Slytherin. It is a group in Harry Potter's school, whose mascot is the snake (slithering... get it? DUH). Another example: Erised is the name of a mirror that mirror one's desires... Erised is Desire spelled backwords. GET IT?

Other names are from mythology or foreign languages (Draco = Latin for Dragon).

Sirius Lupin, for example, borrows his name from Sirius the "Dog Star".

You are simply plagarizing someone else's lies. Bad form.

No, no, no. It was Sirius Black (who became a BLACK DOG, get it, get it, huh?) and Remus (brother of Romulus, founder of Rome (ooh - maybe we can tie some anti-Catholicism in here, too)) Lupin (Latin for wolf).

Circe, of course, is from the Odyssey, but you know what those Greeks were like (insert homophobic slur here).

Okay, we've got witchcraft, blacks, Catholics, and gays involved here - maybe it really is demonic.

I'm on my 2nd or 3rd reading of Azkaban, waiting for the paperback to re-read Goblet. I would bet money that few if any af the people condemning these books have read even the first.
