You bet. I once came across someone arguing that the Weasleys were to be read as "codedly Irish" because, I think, they were red-headed and had a lot of children. Personally, I think this misses something about JKR's approach to fiction writing, and that if she'd intended the Weasleys to be read as "codedly Irish" she'd have codedly called them something like "Seumas Finnegan" and had them go on holiday in tents covered in shamrocks.
