Cockroach cluster

I've always been troubled by the many references to cockroaches in 
inappropriate places--such as candy, and as Lupin's solution to 
making the Boggart go look ridiculous.  What is funny about a 
cockroach???

I just came across a reference to the words Cockroach Cluster in a 
list of twenty favorite MOnty Python sketches, in the skit "Crunchy 
Frog", referencing Cockroach clusters, on Entertainment Weekly 
(ew.com or through cnn).   I believe that JKR is a big Monty Python 
fan so I thought this reference was a bit interesting. Crunchy Frog 
is apparently on DVD 2, Episode 6.  Well if MOnty PYthon thought 
cockroach clusters were funny...

Don't know what this all means (likely zip) but perhaps that is 
where she found the word to begin with. Maybe in her mind, a 
cockroach is associated with humor.
