alt_billI promised Dora that I'd try to glean what I could concerning Poppy's nemesis, Healer Stint. I took my source (formerly of St Mungo's, now working for the Ministry) out for drinks after work, and this is what she was able to pass along to me off the cuff:
Facinorous Stint is a former Ravenclaw noteworthy for his blatantly carnivorous attitude toward relationships: he is notorious at St Mungo's for sizing people up according to how useful they might be to him and then treating them accordingly. My source says that the people around him or just below him 'tend to have footprints on their face because of the way he keeps stepping on them.' He has had three assistants quit in the last year. He's thick as thieves with one of his former roommates from Ravenclaw, and the other three despise him and refuse to have any contact with him.
He did author two papers, one on potion cross-contamination and one on potion interactions which indicate that he could have knowledge regarding poisons.
Also: his ex-wife is missing, as of about five or six years ago. Which is ominous. His career took off noticeably after that.
I know this isn't helpful for the immediate issue, but I should have more from her in a day or two, including a list of the committees he's serving on. My source remarked that he was involved with an unusually high number: he's cutting quite a swath through the bureaucracy.
I hope that there is no further alarm with regard to Poppy before then.

As to this summer, well. He's been chasing Poppy around. He's been out at the YPL activities far more than he was supposed to be. But it makes one wonder if there's some other occupation for his time we haven't spotted yet.
Thank you, Bill, for digging. And I'll make sure Poppy sees this when she comes back, in case she has other thoughts.
