Tonks again:
Thanks Janet. It was his Great Uncle Algie. That means he is 
Neville's grandmother's brother, right? So Trevor could be really 
old, maybe.

Now in rereading Book 2. I see that "Mandrake or Mandragora is a 
powerful restorative" said Hermione..."It is used to return people 
who have been transfigured or cursed to their original state"

Why would we be told that? And Uncle Algie has been to Assyria. Did 
he get Trevor there too? Maybe it all ties in with Ancient magic in 
Egypt. I an not good at these things, but I think Assyria is at 
least in the same part of the world.  Any thought??
