somehing similar). If it's so useful, why doesn't the school have any in 
stock? Does  Prof. Sprout have to grow all the things for making 
potions?<

Ok, it just something just occurred to me and it seems a wee bit 
suspious.  How is it that HP's Herbology class was going to learn all about 
Mandrakes and its healing properties in their 2nd year [COS] I mean, don't 
you all think it's kinda weird that they started planting the young 
Mandrake before the first attack even took place  [Mrs. Norris].  It's almost 
as if someone [the administration, teachers,  Headmaster???] knew something 
like this was going to happen. I don't know, I  suppose I'm being silly and 
wack, but then I'd blame it on the fact that I'm still waiting for the 5th 
book.
