Does anyone else get a funny feeling re: Neville's grandmother? I
know she's been presented as loyal to Dumbledore, and a good
guardian for Neville, but there are certain *vague impressions* I've
been getting, perhaps from these details:

--vulture on her hat
--Neville fears her almost as much as he fears Snape
--something a little cold in her tone when she speaks to N's mom at
Mungo's (extremely subjective reaction, I know)
--not overly active in encouraging magical ability in N. when young
(it's Uncle Algie who keeps after N. on this, I believe)

vmonte responds:
I don't know; Neville's grandmother is peculiar. Whenever I think of 
Gran I see her as Snape in a dress. Was this some kind of 
foreshadowing on JKR's part? You know, "a wolf in sheep's clothing." 
Was she once a DE? I hope we don't find out that Snape's undercover 
work is that he is impersonating Neville's grandmother. HAHA--just 
kidding.
