Here are the examples I thought of:
Severus Snape: A Slytherin professor at HogwartsSeverus: Roman Emperor
Horace Slughorn: Another Slytherin professor at Hogwarts
Horace: A Roman playwright and analyst.
Remus Lupin: Romulus is his code name in the 7th book.
Remus and Romulus: Brothers/founders of Rome. Where the name Rome comes from.
Narcissa: Draco Malfoy's Mother, a Death Eater
Narcissus: Mythological character known for vanity
Examples I found on the Internet:
Death Eaters, Sirius' Brother, "Tonks'" mom, & Voldemort's Mother.
Bellatrix, Draco, Regulus, Andromeda, Merope: Stars & constellations discovered by Greeks
Albus Dumbledore
Albus: means white in Latin
Minerva McGonagall: Head of Griffyndor House
Minerva: wisdom in Latin
Inspiration for this post?? I'm re-reading Harry Potter (obviously) and I'm sitting in Theater History Class right now...
