The first puzzle

Snape has presented the class with a mystery potion. The potion is a mixture of two or more elements selected from a stock of exactly five different elements labeled Fire seed, Griffin claw, Honeywater, Jewelweed, and Kneazle hair. The professor knows that a formula for the potion is acceptable if and only if it does not violate any of the rules listed below.

If the potion contains Fire seed, it must also contain Honeywater, and there must be twice as much Honeywater as Fireseed.

If the perfume contains Griffin claw, it must also contain Jewelweed, and the amount of Jewelweed must equal the amount of Griffinclaw.

Honeywater cannot be used in combination with Jewelweed.

Jewelweed cannot be used in combination with Kneazle hair.

If the potion contains Kneazle hair, the amount of Kneazle hair must be greater than the total amount of the other element or elements used.

Neville accidentally adds two drops Honeywater and one Kneazle hair the potion turns poison yellow and is now unacceptable. Which element should Hermione tell him to add to turn the potion around and escape from Snape's wrath?
