<Yeah. . . but that doesn't quite work. It's not "fermented honey," or
something, it's *poisoned* honey. "Poisoned," to me, has clear
connotations of *danger.*>

I found the poisoned honey reference to be fascinating. Honey, as may well
be known to some, is a natural carrier of Botulism (Clostridium botulinum)
toxin, thus the rule against giving babies under two honey straight up. I
haven't had time to do more research into the name Clostridium botulinum to
see if there are any clues as to names for the DADA teacher, or anything
else. I'm sure this is kind of far-fetched...but the choice of words
is...odd. Poisoned honey? Not exactly glamorous. I can't help but wonder if
it's a major clue.

Musing....
