aussie:
Could that be a reason Snape and Neville have problems? McGonagall
knew Neville's gran failed Charms, so was probably in Hogwarts around
Tom Riddle's time too. Was Neville's gran Eileen's bully? It would add
 greater insult to Snape hearing of Neville's boggart wearing gran's
dress.

I don't think it is important, but within a closed community that
spans generations, every witch knows every other family.

(eg, In Tonga, one of the Royal Guards was insulted. After work, he
walked to that coastal town and knocked down the 1st 3 grass huts he
came to. No body was hurt and the huts were put back up in less than 2
hours.  -but the "Coconuts in the Sea" was 2 generations ago, and my
friend is still remembered as the son of that guard. - An example of a
closed community holding importance to things aver 45 years old)
