Professor Regulus Moonshine was a wizard who developed a potion to suppress hags' normal appetite for human flesh.[2] He lost several chunks of own body while conducting the clinical trials.
An article in the Daily Prophet called him "Professor", but it is not known if he ever taught at a wizarding school, like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Etymology
The name "Regulus" is a Roman cognomen which meant "rule" in Latin. This was the name of several early saints. Moonshine, also known as white lightning, mountain dew, hooch or Tennessee white whiskey, is a high-proof distilled spirit, generally produced illicitly.

Notes and references
- ↑ As Moonshine has a career and was called "Professor", he is clearly over-age and due to his title it can be assumed that he is older than seventeen.
