Allie:

I was sure Hermione recommended dittany first in OoTP for Harry's 
detention "I Must Not Tell Lies" wound but now all I can find is her 
giving him a bowl of murtlap tentacles (p. 324 US).  Am I 
misremembering or did anyone else think the same thing?

Allie:

I wondered the same thing, if Ron walks around with a deformed arm 
for the rest of his life.  I suppose the muscle could regrow and push 
out the new skin so that it gets back to normal eventually.
