IIRC = If I Recall Correctly or If I Remember Correctly

 Btw I agree with Salit that:
 The damage to [Bertha] was caused by the spell [LV] used to break
 the memory charm that Crouch Sr. placed on her: >>
I don't think he needed to torture her to get her to tell what she
again remembered -- surely Imperius would be more effective than
 torture for extracting information -- but he may well have tortured
her with Cruciatis afterwards simply for his own amusement.

 Btw some time ago a listie pointed out something I hadn't noticed: 
where did LV's horrible-ugly-baby body come from? Well, he had a
 female captive and a male servant right there with him ...

Thanks for the info Catlady!  That had been bothering me for a long 
time and I could not find it in a search ;}

Now just where did that did LV's horrible-ugly-baby body come from?  
I guess I never thought of it as a real body, just something that 
developed from all the concoctions that gave him his strength.  Lets 
see what Harry says on the matter;

"It was as though Wormtail had flipped over a stone and revealed 
something ugly, slimy, and blind-but worse, a hundred times worse. 
The thing Wormtail had been carrying had the shape of a crouched 
human child, except that Harry had never seen anything less like a 
child.  It was hairless and scaly-looking, a dark, raw, reddish 
black.  It's arms and legs were thin and feeble, and its face- no 
child alive ever had a face like that- flat and snakelike, with 
gleaming red eyes".  GoF, p640, AM ed.

Pretty scary.  The description of his face is similar to his present 
face with it being snake-like and red eyes.  And that would be 
explainable due to the fact that he got some of the ingredients for 
his "elixir" from Nagani.  

Oh. (Becki hits herself upside the head).  I get what your saying 
now.  EEWWWWE!  Thats all I have to say on *that* matter.
