  Does anyone know anything about any Hengist of Woodcroft or Alberic 
  Grunnion? 

Found this on a HP site (http://www.theninemuses.net/hp/h.html)


Hengist of Woodcroft - featured on a chocolate frog wizard card 
  Hengist is the name of the first King of Kent (from 455-488) He was the first Saxon, with his brother Horsa, brought in by Vortigern to fight the Picts and Scots. I see no connection to magic whatsoever, but oh well.

And from the same site (http://www.theninemuses.net/hp/g.html)

Grunion, Alberic - featured on a chocolate frog card 
  Alberic was a common name in the Medieval Europe, including two saints. One was a bishop and missionary. The other was a hermit and co-founder of the Cistercian order. Alberic is also the name of the dwarf in Wagner's ring cycle. 
  "Grunion" is a type of fish native to southern California, related to the mullet, which come inshore to spawn.



That's all I could find!
