I think you have a very interesting idea. It would
explain why smart, independent women suddenly fall
into all the stereotypes of women and seem to forget
their intelligence. I hadn't thought of that
possibility before. Maybe his mom was a Veela or
something. I like the way you think though. I like you
other idea as well:

I've seen that movie. That could be a cool twist  to
the story. Have him be able to see what he was and
become a different person. Maybe he might even show
signs of intelligence...another scary thought:
Lockheart thinking! Alert the Prophet! That'd be a
newsworthy event!
