Me:

Reading this really sparked something in my mind. Bear with me guys. 
I really feel like I had a burst of genius. What if it has nothing to 
do with an anagram? (I'm not sure how long Alice has been giving 
Neville the wrappers. We really don't have proof of that as far as I 
can remember NOR do we know how often they go to visit his parents.. 
so with that aside & out of the equation,let me lay this out). I'm 
sure when Neville & Gran go to visit they talk to his parents about 
Neville's school and how much he likes/is good at Herbology right? 
I'm sure they just don't stand there silently looking at them. Gums 
have a lot of PLANT BASED ingredients. What if Alice is giving him 
the wrappers because a particular plant (possibly a plant based 
ingredient in Droobles) is what they need to snap out of their 
current state. It could also tie in with (I don't have my book on me 
right now) the fact Neville thought he did ok on his Potions OWLs. If 
he can get through an OWL level exam without Snape hovering over him 
making him incredibly nervous, he may be pretty good at Potions which 
would tie in beautifully with his Herbology knack. Maybe we're 
clutching desperately to anagrams which is what JKR wants us to do as 
to throw us off the scent. **Seeking cover for the cannon firing 
squad** =o)
