A lemon is a fruit with juice that is very acidic. Severus Snape kept sucked-on lemons in a paper bag marked "Lunch" in his storeroom.^[1] There are also numerous Wizard and Muggle sweets and confections that are lemon flavoured.

Behind the scenes

• This fruit makes an appearance in the GBC version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, in which it is implied Snape has been sucking them, as a joke on Snape's sourness and lack of nutrition. Alternatively, the lemons might have been potion ingredients which were stored in a spare lunch bag.
