Najwa now:

Hogwarts is a flower isn't it? How could it be word play unless
someone means by the school representing abnormal growths on pigs? I
don't get the wordplay there, and come to think of it, I don't see why
a school should be named after a flower unless there is some deep
meaning behind that flower, which I'm sure someone will tell me that
there is. Sorry, I'm horrible at Herbology.
