Hagrid be buying flesh eating slug repellant for slugs eating the 
school's cabbages? Are the slugs in the UK that different from the 
slugs in the US?  I believe the slugs in the US eat plants and not 
flesh and, iirc, cabbages are plants.<snip>

Dondee's reply:
I may be wrong, but I always thought that the repellent ate the flesh 
of the slugs - not that the slugs eat flesh themselves. Kind of like 
using chili powder to keep ants away because it burns them.
