Montavilla47:

Are you mad, Alla?  Nonsense?  Cauldron leakings is a serious 
business!  Just consider that there are approximately 300 
potions students  at any one year  in Snape's classroom.  They use
their cauldrons at least once a week, which is say, 40 times a year.
That's a 12,000 cauldron uses per year

At a 3% accident rate, that's 360 accidents a year, just in 
the classroom, to say nothing of the accidents that take place in
homes, apothecary shops, hospitals, and factories.

Thank goodness Percy is there to stem the tide.  

And those 360 accidents in Snape's classroom?  

Neville.  Every single one.
