And yes as the original post said( didn't have the time to dig it 
up sorry), it is not right to say that those who were covered in the 
stinksap were the ones who didn't suffer extensive damage. Because 
you see, Luna wasn't covered in the first place because she had 
raised her book. So that's it then.

=====================================================================

Hello all, Fred Waldrop here;
(chap. 10, page 187 US, page 170 UK, OotP)
"Liquid squid squirted from every boil on the plant; thick, stinking 
dark green  jets of it. They hit the ceiling, the windows, and 
splattered Luna Lovegood's magazine; Ginny, who had  flung her arms 
up in front of her face just in time, merely looked as though she 
was wearing a slimy green hat".
Ok, I know we are talking about opinion here, but how big do you 
think a magazine is? I, for one, have not seen one that is so big it 
will cover the entire body, but that is me.
If you want to claim it was a WW magizine, and is therefore larger 
than others, and take the part written " and splattered Luna 
Lovegood's magazine", literately as meaning her magazine, AND ONLY 
her magazine, I wonder what your take is on "Ginny, who had  flung 
her arms up in front of her face just in time, merely looked as 
though she was wearing a slimy green hat"? Do you think she only got 
stink sap on her head or possibly on other parts of her that was not 
covered by her arms?
Me personally, I think Luna got Stink sap on her legs, her hands 
(they were holding the paper after all), and possible, seeing that 
the stink sap splashed off the ceiling, on top of her head.
