Kemper now:
Assuming a lot that the drops represent Houses...
I like 5 of your 'red drops', but I think the sixth drop would be either
Hagrid, Minerva, or DD instead of the twin.  (My DDM! thoughts require a
living DD, but that's another post.)
.
I think JKR was playing around with possible names for the Divination
Professor.
.
Peace Lily, *Spathiphyllum, *spathi- is greek for sword.  Gryff's sword,
maybe?
