Well, as I recall in the book, Harry gives Lee the advice about wortsap or
whatever it was, to relieve pain when he saw him with similar scars. I don't
think that was a fabrication by movie makers to say she used it on probably
everyone at times. Harry just got it more because he kept getting it.(in the
books). Just a point.
