Well, here's mine:

I've been thinking about the whole Droobles mystery, and I must admit
that it's driven absolutely mad.  That aside, these are my thoughts:

The particular ward that Neville's parents are on may somehow be
controlled by either LV or Fudge.  If we look at the people that we
know of who are in that ward (which, we find out from the nurse that
it is pretty high security, although deadly plants seem to make their
way in fairly easily)we see that what they all have in common is that
they all have or may have some kind of dangerous information.
Lockhart, of course, is the only adult who has seen the Chamber of
Secrets opened. Neville's parents: unknown, but were Order members so
they may have gotten some interesting info before they were "addled".
The last  (what's the name?? Bode?), who was killed by his gift of
Devil's Snare, was able to get to the Dept. of Mysteries and make his
way all the way through to the prophecy.  

Anyway, I think Nevilles' mother may be giving him some sort of clue
about the ward itself with the wrappers; that is, that the doctors (or
someone) are purposely keeping them in their foggy state.  

So, then, the wrappers. Maybe the wrappers are not all bubblegum
wrappers. Perhaps she has given him other types of candy wrappers as
well. In that case, they are a clue to "candy". That is, maybe she's
saying that "fudge" is responsible (is this too much of a stretch?).
Or, Droobles does start with the letters Dr., so maybe it's a clue to
the doctor's name, which we'll see in Book 6.  Is this lame?
