Finwitch:

My idea for the "late bloomer" is Gilderoy Lockhart. Not one that I've
noticed in the threads here either. And why?

Events from books:
1.GL never could do any spell but Memory Charms.
2.He got hit by one.
3.He's still signing things in St Mungos.

Speculation:
4. - Quite possibly, he might start *believing* his own books he'll
read in order to regain his "memory". You know, books like Magical Me.
Really, if you had lost your entire memory (including your name) but
had, previously, written your memoirs, would you not read them in
order to learn who you are?

5.Consequently, GL will believe he really can do those spells as he
has done them.

6. This belief will mean he truly *Can* do those things!

It would be like those stories of a fake medium finding the REAL stuff
for once...
