Gramatica is more obscure. There's something nagging in the back of my 
mind about this term. It may be just some of JKR's pseudo-Latin 
terminology, but maybe not. But under this spelling the only references 
I can dig up, online or in my own references, seem to be to the surname 
of a football player.

If it's any help, "Gramática" means grammar in Spanish. OK, so the 
Spanish word has a typographical accent, but most English people I know 
can't get their accents on their places (and when you get right down to 
it, neither can lots of Spanish people). Since I never heard of JK 
knowing Spanish, she could have picked it up somewhere, and forgot 
about the accent on the "a".
