What does the Latin translation show about these Harry Potter characters? (Snape and Sirius)?

How does the Latin translation of Sirius ('greater dog star') relate to his character?

How does the Latin translation of Severus ('severe, stern, strict') relate to his character?What does the Latin translation show about these Harry Potter characters? (Snape and Sirius)?
Sirius also means the brightest star in the sky, it could mean that he was the bright star in Harry's life, sort of a silver lining to his otherwise dark cloud that is his life.



The entire Black family is named mostly after constellations!



Severus means Stern and I think his character speaks for himself!What does the Latin translation show about these Harry Potter characters? (Snape and Sirius)?
As Sirius has the power to change into a dog and he saves Harry's life losing his makes him "greater dog star"





Snape is strict professor who eagerly waits for a chance to scold harry and get rid of him
