Hey!! That makes complete sense since he kills everybody.  That's awesome what made u look that up?

 

Took French and etymology (how'd I spell -that- right?) in high school, and I over-analyze words, especially names, in books and movies... :)
 

Awesome!  Good for you, man!  Authors do that on purpose a lot. :)

 "Flight of death", actually - JK's said so herself - but good job! I like your version better, personally... "flight" doesn't make much sense, and isn't as funny. I did a similar thing, hypothesizing Dumbledore was named after a bumblebee because he seemed harmless but could be dangerous when provoked - though as it turned out, she only named him that because he hummed to himself. Sigh... I like our versions better.

 By the way, I find your Amber G project just fascinating! What program did you use to make her songs?

 

That would make sense, since "Vol" is French for "flight."

And the French have a habit of dropping words like "of/with/about" or, more specifically, not translating literally, word-for-word, in to English (or use them more as adjectives). So tihs would likely translate more directly as "Flight Death."

Some of my favorite examples from French may apply (and you probably DON'T want to translate these literally -- in short, I think I remember them for other reasons... *laugh*):

French: Vous avez fini de déconner?
Translated: Have you finished fooling around?

French: ne pas se prendre pour de la petite merde
Translated: to take oneself very seriously / great

...and yeah, I probably remember a few things about French I could probably do without (and then don't remember things I could probably find better use for -- chalk it up to immaturity, I guess).
