I was reading 'How To Be Topp' by Geoffrey Willans and Ronald Searle over the weekend, and I was amazed - because in the book, the name of a 'latin play' that Molesworth includes is called 'The Hogwarts'!

I'm sure I'm not the first person to have noticed that this is where JKR might have got the name from, but it still made me very excited...

ETA: Actually, after a quick wikipedia search, I'm definitely not the first person to notice this, but I did find this hilarious gem: Ho for Hoggwarts!
