Me:

Yes!  I posted just that in my original post (Mimbulus Mimbletonia), 
and I'd mentioned it before.  Neville said that Great Uncle Algie 
not only tried to throw him out the window (the time Neville bounced 
down the hill), but he also nearly drowned him before that.  Plus 
the fact that the way that the man is described who asks to see Bode 
fits the bill...he is old and has a hearing trumpet!  (he'd have to 
be very old, wouldn't he?)  Plus, what do you think about 
this...maybe Uncle Algie is the one who always gives Alice gum when 
he comes to see her, and that's why Alice keeps giving them to 
Neville...for instance, the day Harry's there, maybe she's trying to 
tell him that Algie was just there and gave the Devil's Snare to 
Bode.  Or maybe if Algie is putting something in the gum, she's 
trying to tell him that...

I'd like to read that Harry gets closer to Neville and begins to 
notice something odd...something that would lead him to realize 
something's going on with Gran and Algie.  

(And now I'm going to do something I don't normally do...I usually 
like to pinpoint my facts *before* speculating, but isn't there a 
known deatheater who has a name that could be shortened to Algie?  
If anyone can find it, please post it.)
