Copied from Wikipedia:

"In several foreign-language versions of the series, the surname Black has been translated into the respective language to carry the same meaning (the colour black). In those cases, the 'B' in R.A.B. has been changed accordingly. For example, the Dutch edition uses the initials R.A.Z. (as in Zwarts) in the note, the Norwegian edition has R.A.S. (as in Svaart) and the Finnish edition has the letters R.A.M. (as in Musta)."

And this, too:

"List of characters in translations of Harry Potter:

French: Sirius Black
German: Sirius Schwarz(book I; corrected in later editions. Schwarz means "Black") /Sirius Black(book III-VI)

It still doesn't explain why in Spanish it's R.A.N. I've just got to get my hands on a Spanish version of HBP. It's starting to drive me nuts.

If it's true, then it's self-explanatory.

It's pretty straightforward. "Black" is "Negro" in Spanish.

If you look on the list, you'll see that it lists Spanish as "Black," though.

Nah, it's pretty easy to over-look.
Anyway, I've posted around asking if anyone has a copy of the Spanish edition and if they'll scan/take a picture of the page with the initials. . .no answers so far. . .

[Is it just me, or did we totally hijack this thread somewhere along the way??]
