Rubeus Hagrid Hagrid's name may be derived from the term 'hagridden – which means 'worried'. Hagrid is often hagridden for the safety of Harry, after all. Rubeus may come from the Latin 'Rubeo', which means 'I am red or ruddy.
Rubeus Hagrid (/ˈhæɡrɪd/) is a fictional character in the Harry Potter book series written by J. K. Rowling.
Rubeus Hagrid is known for taking a drink.
"Hagrid [is] another old English word," Rowling said in a 1999 interview. "If you were hagrid — it's a dialect word — you'd had a bad night. Hagrid is a big drinker — he has a lot of bad nights."
Sirius Black & Remus Lupin
The name Remus finds its origin in the Roman myth "Romulus and Remus." Lupin comes from the Latin word "lupinus," meaning wolf, and everyone knows that Remus Lupin is a werewolf.
J.K. Rowling based the character of Hagrid on a real biker
Coltrane said that J.K. Rowling told him that Hagrid was 'based on a Hell's Angel she knew in the West Country'. 'He was just huge and terrifying,' Coltrane recalled Rowling telling him.
It is unknown why no-one calls Hagrid 'Rubeus', which is his first name, although when Hagrid meets Harry for the first time he tells him to call him Hagrid as that's what everyone calls him. This probably means that Hagrid tells people to call him by this name.
Again, the most reasonable explanation was that Hagrid is leading the children to his master, the Dark Lord, so that Voldemort could either kill or observe the children.
As for his beloved last name, you might think Malfoy means 'rich, blond and probably quite rude'. Well, not quite, but the term 'Mal', actually derives from Old French usually means 'bad or 'evil' and 'foi' means 'faith' or 'trust'.
Draco is Latin for “dragon,” and Malfoy means “bad faith” in French.
The family of Ollivander has long been associated with the mysterious profession of wandcraft. It is said that the name means 'he who owns the olive wand', which suggests that the original Ollivander arrived in Britain from a Mediterranean country (olive trees not being native to the UK).
Severus Snape
His first name, Severus, has its roots in Latin, directly translating to mean 'stern' or 'harsh'. This was exactly the front that Snape put on as he swept down hallways like a bat and berated Harry for every wrong: a stern and harsh façade to hide what lay beneath.
In Greek Baby Names the meaning of the name Hermione is: Well born. Stone. Feminine name derived from Hermes. In Greek mythology, Hermione was the daughter of King Menelaus of Sparta and Helen of Troy.

After Hagrid was accused of opening the Chamber of Secrets, he was expelled and forbidden to do magic.
It is revealed during the series that Hagrid attended Hogwarts while Tom Riddle was also a student at the school, and that Hagrid was expelled during his third year (because Riddle, in his pre-Lord Voldemort days, framed him for opening the Chamber of Secrets).
"Hagrid is one of Voldemort's oldest associates, and knows his true identity" In Chamber of Secrets, it is revealed that Hagrid had been a student at Hogwarts during the same period that Tom Riddle (the true identity of Lord Voldemort) also frequented the school.
Origin:Latin. Meaning:Female warrior. Does the name Bellatrix ring any bells? That's no surprise seeing as one of the most famous characters from the beloved series Harry Potter was named Bellatrix Lestrange.
Like many Harry Potter characters, the name Bellatrix references astronomy. Bellatrix alludes to the third-brightest star in the Orion constellation and means “female warrior” in Latin. Bellatrix Lestrange is known for her intense loyalty to, and even obsession with, her master, Voldemort.
"'Silente' is used to describe taciturn, reserved people, and not for people that don't talk at all. It's usually used for landscapes or objects ('notte silente' - silent night), but what the Italian translator wanted to convey was Dumbledore's majesty.
Lord Voldemort is the fictional arch-villain of the Harry Potter series. He is a Dark wizard bent on securing unmatched power and achieving immortality through the practice of the Dark Arts.

Narcissa Malfoy
Draco's mum's name has significance too. She's named after Narcissus, the character from Greek mythology who fell in love with his own reflection. It's the origin of the word 'narcissism'.
History. During his third year at Hogwarts, Hagrid was falsely accused by Tom Riddle to have released a monstrous creature on the school that killed a Muggle-born witch named Myrtle Warren. As a result of this, his wand was destroyed by the British Ministry of Magic.
Hagrid was loyal
Dumbledore has kept Hagrid working and living at Hogwarts ever since he was expelled from the school after being set up by Voldemort, which makes Hagrid grateful and loyal to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore's trust on Hagrid earned hagrid's respect for dumbledore. When Hagrid was expelled from school, dumbledore got him job as school Gate keeper. Dumbledore trusted Hagrid with his life when no one trusted him even Mcgonagall. Dumbledore is the most knowledgeable wizard in magical world.
