There is, I believe, a book by an Arsenius Jigger (Spelling?) but I
don't recall off the top of my head what the title of the book was. I
always thought this was a very cleverly funny name and think it
applies to a potions book since Arsenius reminds me of Arsenic (a
possible, if perhaps lethal, potion ingredient) and Jigger which
refers either to a measure of liquid or the instrument used to measure
x amount (not sure which). (Bartending tool, which is essentially what
potions is...mixing drinks... hehehe... ) I love JK and her naming of
things ;)
