Now me: 

There's also an interesting parallel with the Mimble-plant, as 
discussed in another post that the Mimbulus (Mimulus) has Jungian 
flower-power and herbological implications. In the other thread about 
the Mimble-plant, someone (sorry, don't remember who) noted that 
Harry, Neville, Ginny, and Luna were sprayed with Mimbulus stinksap 
on the Hogwarts XP on the way up to school in the first part of OotP. 
Ron and Hermione were up in the prefects' car and so didn't get 
doused. This correlates perfectly with who was fascinated by the Veil 
and who wasn't.
