When I read "poisoned honey" my first thought was of Mrs.
Figg. I'm thinking it might mean someone who thinks they're
being sweet, but in reality they're being anything but. Remember
Mrs. Figg giving Harry stale cake and making him look at
pictures of her cats. She probably thought she was giving him a
grand time. But the reality was rather different.
Maybe she'll tell all kinds of embarassing stories about when
Harry was little!
