Harry Potter Unanswered

While re-reading my Harry Potter books preparing to go see The Order of the Phoenix soon and to refresh my memory for the new book release I've tried to read them with new eyes. But, it would be a shame to not let myself just be entertained. Being distracted looking for clues and such can take away from the pleasure of the unknown.
Anyway, here goes what I've noticed while being entertained again by Rowlings wonderful way of writing her tales with her heart on her sleeve and her head in the air.

Does Harry Potter have a middle name? I haven't seen it if he does. But, what would it be if he did have one? Perhaps his fathers name, James, or his mothers
maiden name, Evans.

Is his first name legally Harold? I don't know. Harold James Potter sounds normal and muggleish, so does Harry Evans Potter.

Seeing Harry's broomstick immediately obey his "up" command makes the broom seem as though it is a pet instead of a vehicle. I'm surprised they didn't name their sticks. Especially the girls. Imagine Hermione naming hers something with the muggle influence of her folks or maybe Spew. Harry would call his Redemption because it brought him such a sense of accomplishment, fun, and satisfaction. Ron would call his "mini me" because after he became prefect he finally was gifted with something all his own and not handed down from the five brothers that came before him.

Why did Harry's parents have so much money? Where did it come from? Ministry jobs? Government workers? Did they have benefits, did they pay taxes, was the bank insured and was the money earning interest? How long does it take one knut to turn into a galleon?

When Harry saw Snapes memories in the pensieve, it bothered me that I started feeling sorry for Snape even though he has been so antagonistic to Harry. Whatever Snapes reasons, whether he is a spy for the good guys or still a dark arts lover, it was sad to read the description of him as a frightened child crying and as a lonely, social misfit teenager. Yet, he did call Lily a mudblood with the same disdain as Draco to Hermione. But, as with Hannibal Rising, the writer gives a depth to the character, a new shade of grey to consider.
