Mimble Wimble

My New Clues book talks a little about the Mimbulus Mimbletonia ( I 
know I spelled that wrong, sorry), and it says something a long the 
lines of 'Mimbulus Mimbletonia' meaning 'mimble wimble'- in some 
fashion- I forget and I don't have any books in front of me. 

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't Uncle Vernon say the exact same 
thing "Mimble Wimble" in PS? When Hagrid comes to the shack in the 
sea to get Harry, Vernon says 'mimble wimble' and later Hagrid tries 
to turn Dudley into a pig- but only gives him a tail. I never 
thought anything was suspicious about that after reading COS- 
because it makes sense that Hagrid wouldn't have been able to do 
advanced transfiguration like that- but...... more on that later

Neville accidentally sprays stinksap on himself, Harry, Ginny, and 
Luna in the compartment on the Hogwarts Express on the way to 
school. Later, in the MOM the only ones who aren't seriously hurt 
are Neville, Ginny, Luna, and Harry. Also, the same four are very 
dumbfounded by the Veil in the Death Chamber. 

Is the plant some sort of protection device? If, so, is it too much 
of a coincidence that Uncle Vernon said 'mimble wimble' and Dudley 
was only given a tail moments later? 

Am I crazy? Or is there something else here?
