Answers:
Gillyweed(the correct format and spelling not gilliewig just to inform you)is a plant that appears in Magical Mediterranean Water-Plants and Their Properties [GOF35]. It looks like a bunch of slimy, greyish-green rat tails, and has an unpleasant rubbery texture, but has very useful properties. When eaten, it causes a human to grow gills, allowing them to breathe underwater, and also webs the fingers and toes to improve swimming [GOF26]. When Harry used Gillyweed for the Second Task of the Triwizard Tournament, the effect lasted for around an hour, but eating greater quantities Gillyweed may make its effects last longer. Snape believed that Harry had stolen the Gillyweed from his private store cupboard, but it was actually Dobby who did that.
