I agree with you, Berit. I think the major importance of the wrappers 
was to illustrate just how cranially messed up the Longbottoms' are, 
and Neville's kind reaction, and HRH's reaction to both. 

The anagrams are fun, though, both as a possible actual clue but also 
as an insight into our own paranoid minds ("It was in capital 
letters! It sounds odd! It must *mean* something!). I'm also inclined 
to think that JKR won't do something as cheesy as an anagram twice.
