 Here's a thought: Gran doesn't seem to care much for Neville's mom 
(with her strict manner regarding the bubblegum wrapper, etc.), and I 
assumed this was because she is Neville's paternal grandmother, and 
doesn't have any real love for Neville's mom. Which side of the 
family is Uncle Algie from? Could the father's side be baddies?  :)
 
A few days ago, someone reading the Chinese editions clarified that 
Marvolo was Tom Riddle's maternal grandfather (there is apparently a 
distinct word for each relationship). I have emailed her to ask about 
Gran as well - once I get her response, hopefully I will get back to 
this message.

Personally I doubt Neville's plant is bad.  Somebody with knowledge 
would have spotted it by now - time to go back and see if there are 
any references to this type of plant in previous books.
