Mac now: You're right Christelle - In the chapter 'Luna Lovegood' 
(basically the Hogwarts Express up to Hogwarts chapter) the text 
metions Trevor:

"...Neville held the *mimbulus mimbletonia* up to his eyes, his 
tongue between his teeth, chose his spot, and gave the plant a sharp 
prod with the tip of his quill.

dark green jets of it. they hit the ceiling, the windows, and 
spattered Luna Lovegood's magazine; Ginny, who had flung up her arms 
in front of her face just in time, merely looked as though she was 
wearing a slimy green hat, but Harry, whose hands had been busy 
trying to prevent Trevor's escape, received a faceful ..."

In checking this, btw I stumbled across (was reminded of) the 
Quibbler article on Fudge that accuses him of goblin terrorism (see 
my next post)
