Tammy replies:

I've always wondered if different witches and wizards could have an
intrinsic ability. For example in the case of Snape and occlumency, he
would have a natural talent already in him for it, one that required
little actual learning for him to master it. We already know of one
thing that is definitely a natural talent, metamorphmagus, so how do
we know there aren't other smaller things that are natural talents. 

If you look at muggle paranormal phenomenon with that in mind, those
people who can move things with their mind would simply be witches or
wizards who have a natural talent for levitation and summoning. It
sounds like something JKR would try to do, explain weird muggle
happenings with a simple magical answer.
