[Facts] Aberforth
What does the name Aberforth mean? My friend says it's from Harry Potter, and she wants to know if it offers clues through the meaning. I have no other information to give. LOL.

First off: Aberforth was Dumbledore's brother. He was prosecuted for practicing "inappropriate charms on a goat", and is now a bartender in Hogsmeade's pub... which now smells strangely like goats. He's also a member of the Order of the Phoenix.This page gives some etymology, but it's strangely devoid of goat references: http://snipurl.com/kbh6.
