True, probably because Harry hasn't been a regular reader of the Quibbler
and so won't have wallowed in the salacious sleaze of straying  spouses
faking their own disappearance and blaming it on a hungry bedsheet.

Since they're found solely in the tropics, the only place in Hogwarts where
one might lurk is in the greenhouses feeding on Sprout's surplus or cast-
off paramours. She's probably trained one to tidy away the empties. 
Reminds me of that classic line "I like my men to be like Kleenex; soft, 
strong, disposable." Hmm. Could be more to Sprout than meets the eye.

Unfortunately, they're repelled by a Patronus and it seems more likely 
that Harry will be learning some new spells rather than repeating himself
too much.

With this in mind, plus the certainty that Sprout would go ballistic when
her arrangements are revealed, it must rank as an outsider.
