One of my faves, too, though I would say a prang is a write-off, rather than 
a fender-bender.  I'm also quite fond of Professor Vindictus Viridian, 
author of "Curses and Counter-Curses (Bewitch your Friends and Befuddle your 
Enemies with the Latest Revenges: Hair Loss, Jelly-Legs, Tongue-Tying and 
much, much more) - hey, perhaps that's how Snape knew so many curses so 
young!  Another subtle one is Professor Binns, whom I imagine wearing very 
thick lenses - "bins" (from binoculars) is a slang term for spectacles.
