"Could it be possible, even minisculy so, that N's grandmother is a 
death-eater? That she condoned the torture of N's parents (and 
perhaps betrayed their whereabouts to LV?)??? That she visits St. 
Mungo's in order to ensure that they are still unable to incriminate 
her or recover and fight LV again (or even perpetuate their 
insanity, by giving a 'booster' spell)?  And that she is the one to 
put the memory charm on Neville (and keep it up)???"


DuffyPoo:
Oh, my gosh, I hope not!  I thought she was just a concerned Grandmother.  She's seen what happened to her son and his wife and is over-protecting Neville.   She made the comment about Neville, in front of Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny, that,  "He's a good boy but he hasn't got his father's talent, I'm afraid to say."  How embarrassing for poor Neville.  She keeps him down to keep him from feeling powerful enough to, possibly, follow in his father's footsteps.  Perhaps she would have even preferred Neville be a Squib than have to worry about him becoming an Auror like Frank.  Maybe she gave him Frank's wand knowing he would never amount to much using it, instead of using one of his own.  Remember, Neville said "My gran's always said You-Know-Who would come back one day."  (Rats, you can use that for your theory, too, can't you? ;-) Well, I'm going to continue with mine anyway. )  She knew LV was going to come back and doesn't want to lose any more of her family to him.
