That nice Mr Borage

Borage is a garden plant - big hairy leaves and nice little blue
flowers. Its leaves taste of cucumber and you can eat the flowers too
or use them as edible decoration. Could have magical properties
concealed from us Muggles, too ...

Libarius? Liberius? Seen both; haven't seen the cover clearly enough
to choose.

Libarius reminds me of a libation, a liquid offering to the god or
spirit uppermost in the celebrant's mind at the time - the Romans used
to roll their goblets so just a drop of wine escaped, and then it was
on with the party. Like saying a pagan Grace, I suppose. So that would
be nice and appropriate for a Potions expert. (Leopards used to be
Libbards, but I can't fit that in for the life of me.)

Liberius the Free? Or maybe it's actually Librarius, he whose learning
comes from books!
