    It was already mentioned that Dutch had Marten Asmodon Vilijn --> Mijn naam is Voldemort. Which fit rather nicely as Marten is rather common and Asmodon is unique.

    Hogwarts was turned into Zweinstein. A "Zwein" = wild pig, boar. "Stein" = This isn't actually a dutch word, but it rhymes and it resembles the word "Steen" which stands for stone.
