He knew more curses than most 7th years when coming to school...

I don't think it's any single event. I think it's more like that his 
needs weren't fulfilled fast enough when he was a baby -- this causes 
him not having basic trust for himself or anyone else. He's been 
expected too much, made feel guilty over failing to fulfill 
expectations etc...
