OTOH, bezoars and lace wing flies, to name just two potion
ingredients, don't come from plants. The other Potions book you
mention may well deal with animal and mineral ingredients.

I do agree that if Snape is teaching DADA, Hogwarts will need a
Potions teacher and it might as well be Neville--which would be a nice
irony after all the trouble he's had with it. But I think he'd be
happier teaching his beloved herbology.
