hi,
Neville's favorite plant mimbulus mimbletonia is the only magical
plant that has a name that mirrors Lamrackian system, I mean the
scientific name of plants and animals. So are the other magical
plants and animals scientifically named?
And this leads me to other things. Students at Hogwarts have
Herbology which deals with magical plants and Care of Magical
Creatures which deals with magical animals. But shouldn't they also
learn something about ordinary animals and plants? Granted they
don't require to learn muggle ways of doing things but are they so
sequestered from muggles that they don't even have to know anything
about plants and animals and other basic things about our planet?
After all they live on earth don't they?
They do have Muggle studies as an elective but that subject seems
to about muggle technologies and organisation rather than natural
world.
