In DD's pensieve scene,in GoF, Bertha Jorkins had been hexed by a
boy because Bertha had seen the boy and Florence kissing behind the
greenhouse.
There have been lots of candidates for the boy (Poor Florence, her
reputation is ruined) The front runner seems to be Snape. It isn't
known why this memory was important or how it fits in with the story.
I think the connection is this: DD is recalling a time that
Bertha's famous curiosity got her into trouble at Hogwarts. Later
the grown Bertha's curiosity gets her into trouble with LV. Harry's
curiosity is also dangerous and may get him in trouble at Hogwarts
and with LV.
We will go on to see that Harry is curious about Snape's pensieve
and looks in, getting thrown out of the office by Snape. Then,
allowing his curiosity about the door interfere with his occlumency
lessons, he's led into trouble with LV. Although if DD had made the
curiosity connection he might have done more to stop Harry.
In another post, that I cannot find, someone offered that Florence
was older than Snape. It was Bertha who was older.
