There's somthing about Trevor

I always wondered what the use of toads as magical pets could possibly be? I imagine they 're useful for potions.or meals, if you like it, but.I just don't know how to pet a toad, they also just seem to be deadly boring (maybe its just me who also considers her very un- magic tubby gold hamster as very boring: always filling its bags, emptying them, scratching its ears and then went back to snoring). So? Unless they are cursed princes and such, what could be the magical use (not delivering post,  never being a furry snoozing cushion?).

"Cursed" leads me straight into an out- of- the- blue- assumption: there could be something more about Neville's toad Trevor. I have no canon proof for that, but a few things let me ponder about this issue( BTW, I frankly don't know if "Neville's- toad- cursed?" is a new hunch, otherwise please imagine me with the reddest face ever seen):

 

-         we don't know about possible pets of other pupils in Harrys age, or even House for that matter, do we?.just Neville's pet toad is ever mentioned, isn't it?.because it has importance?

-         IIRC the behaviour of that certain amphibian is slightly suspicious: why it scrams from Neville (or whom else?) on several occasions?

-         Trevor seems not like a pet name to me, it really does not. Why not something as Toady the Toad, but a common boy's name instead?

-         Trevor seems to be as much dreaded of Snape (every right to be so!) as Neville is.I wonder why? I wonder why Neville takes Trevor to the lessons (I can't remember dear Crookshanks sneaking some of the tastier ingredients in Potions whilst being curled up in Hermione's lap), at all? I wonder why Snape seems to have in mind to kill Neville's toad off.hm.

-         It seems unlikely to me that ONE pet is without any meaning, especially endearing Trevor: Scrabbers (BTW, were rats accepted at Hogwarts? I'm not sure about that.so? How was Scrabbers allowed to been brought to Hogwarts? And why aren't pets as gold fishes, gold hamsters and Golden Retrievers most probably not accepted?.I see, I see, that's another unimportant issue, sorry.) was an animus, as we all know, Crookshanks is most likely a Kneazle (part- Kneazle, that is), Hedwig, well that' s a wholly different post, I have some assumptions for that one.sooo? What's up with Trevor, if there's something up.

 

Well, as I mentioned above- I think Trevor is - No!- not a cursed prince, but someone cursed. Damn my lack of imagination, I have no clue who it could be.maybe a friend of Neville and he - as almost ever- don't know about it? Heavens, this just bugs me.

 

What's about Trevor, any thoughts?

 

.annie who is never going to be tempted eating a warty toad, but would get along very well with a yummy chocolate frog.
