I mean, isn't it an incredible coincidence that someone with the name of Remus Lupin got bitten by a werewolf and himself became one? Or that someone with the last name of Malfoy is generally expected to be a villain? The list is long indeed of names that are ironic. I would have preferred names that weren't ironic.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

It does seem logical that the series gets more teenager-oriented as Harry grows older.
