LizVega here:

That's exactly what I thought! With any other author I would've 
overlooked the mumbling as just that, mumbling from a man who's 
frightened of an even bigger man-Hagrid, but have we ever seen 
Vernon mumble in frustration? Ever? Even when Moody's bowler hat 
exposed the crazy eye in the last chapter of OOP? No! Vernon never 
mumbles! And, let's not forget that a variation of Mimbulus 
Mimbletonia as stated on the HP TCG- can we consider those to be 
canon?- is MIMBLE WIMBLE! The trading cards say that Mimble wimble 
is used to deter or interrupt a spell- or something like that- and 
then Hagrid tries to turn Dudley into a pig but only manges to give 
him a tail!

I believe that the plant, and mimble wimble are connected. I find it 
hard to believe that some people still insist on underestimating the 
amount of clues that JO wrote into the books- remember, I'm a broken 
record now, sorry :), but she wrote about Harry and his world for 
five years before anything was published. I think it's entirely 
likely that clues about everything- even the prophesy- were weaved 
into PS!
