	If you think about it, =none= of the victims were capable of 
taking anything by mouth. Lockhart (admittedly not a reliable source) 
refers to the "Mandrake Restorative Draught" CoS ch. 9. Draughts may be 
inhaled as well as given by mouth. Perhaps the remedy had to be blown 
into their lungs, since none of them were breathing. I can imagine 
Madame Pomfrey wielding an atomizer, and blowing mandrake juice  into 
NHN and the rest of the victims.
