It ought to be an April Fool, but it isn't!

[livejournal.com profile] aeshna_uk  came to visit today and we went out for a walk in the sunshine. We came back via the local cemetery.  Smitty was looking at tombstone names in order to get useful NPC names for stories.  (Names follow very distinct time periods.  eg. 'Ivy Lily' is very much a name of around 80 years ago.)

We found one totally unexpected stone. 

This really isn't an April Fool's joke.

We found the gravestone for 'Harry Snape'.

Hmm. Wonders whether JKR gets her names for stories in the same places?

It's not that odd! There's a recently retired cricketer called Jeremy Snape.

Not as good as a first name of Harry...

Look at all those who want them to get married...
