my reply :
I've just done my own research, and it seems to me that ginger is 
mainly used against nausea and stomacal pain. But I may be wrong.

my reply :
I don't think she knew. If she had, I suppose she would have given 
Harry some more "vanishing-pain-biscuits" for the entire week. And 
like others have said, she would have told him why she was feeding 
him with that.
Nevertheless, I prefer the "with biscuits in your mouth you can't 
talk"-theory... It sounds so much more "McGonagall-esque" to me ! ;o)
