Eustace_Scrubb:

Definitely not nonsensical!

If Madame Pomfrey says the brain could have caused harm, as Maddy
pointed out, I'd think it would really depend on whose brain it was.

Now muggle labs and medical museums have historical preserved the
brains of both geniuses and notorius criminals.  Who knows who
belonged to the brain that Ron summoned?  Grindelwald?  Dangerous Dai
Llewellyn? One of the Hogwarts founders? But I bet it will be
important somewhere along the line.
