So in the second movie, the "Tom Riddle" thing with the anagram makes me happy. The idea that you should make an anagram out of your name (all three -- first, middle and last) and come up with a new anagrammed name for yourself (and the anagram might, say, end up as "I am ..." or perhaps "He is ...")...
<grin>
Yeah, I'm partial to the idea that the greatest wizard in the world picked his name that way.
(for those of you who don't get it -- ask me about the name "angelbob")
