I saw it on the internet once as 'Arrioi Potter, where the final iota in
'Arrioi is of course subscript, and ' is rough breathing. Acute accents on
the alpha in the first word and omicron in the second. The "er" ending is
nice, since it fits with names like Alexander. Maybe it will decline to
Pottros? Haha.

Cool. Now I am curious: if his Latin name is "Harrius Potter" (which looks
quite ridiculous IMO), what shall his Greek name be? Garios? Or perhaps
`Arios
(with a spiritus asper)?
