I suspect this has been done to death, so could a kind and friendly
person point me to the appropriate posts?
When Hagrid was acting suspiciously in Knockturn alley he said Flesh-
eating slugs were ruining the school cabbages.
I can't even bring myself to spell it out, it's so obvious, (and you
clever people must have seen it sooner than I,) but I didn't even
notice it the first few times I read the book.
As a biologist I know that these things happen, creatures get given
ridiculous common names that are based on ignorance of what they
actually do for a living, (e.g. bird-eating spiders do no such
thing) but still...
Dungrollin.
There was a young death eater spy,
Who's apparently terribly sly,
Though riddled with flaws,
He joined the good cause,
Let us pray JKR tells us why.
Amen
