Chys:
Isn't it against some kind of rule or moral code to administer it to 
children? Umbridge had no problem with this obviously.


About Crouch, I don't think anyone was the wiser, even for his elf's 
odd behaviour. Look at Dobby. He's odd as it is and apparently 
there's nothing wrong with him other than the fact he's got some 
obvious issues.
