"Why did JKR make it so fucking obvious?" -- when the vast majority of people did not see it coming... because, as I said, most people don't look for anagrams of every character name they come across. You make it sound like everyone who didn't get the double meaning immediately was some sort of idiot, because it was so obvious, right? It's like someone walking out of the Sixth Sense and bragging about predicting the ending 10 minutes in. If it's true, good job, that's impressive; but saying it was really obvious is a bit obnoxious.

The Harry Potter books, like plenty of other novels, have character names that suit the characters on a superficial level, like Pomona Sprout, Delores Umbridge, Emeric Switch, etc. Almost every single uncommon name in the books has something to do with the character's personality, even down to Albus Dumbledore, or even Minerva McGonagall for instance. I'm not sure why Voldemort's name-play should ruin an entire book for anyone considering this is a pretty common device in literature. I'd wager it's actually pretty rare for a character's name to not have significant meaning, wether overt or not.
