Finwitch:

Why? For the fun of speculating, what else? How would different
characters react if Harry had a tic in front of them...

As for relevance-- well, Rita Skeeter suggested mental issues/brain
effection with Harry, so - what if he DID have some?

And, of course, Dursleys lack of care, so they'd NOT try and get a
diagnosis, would they? As for coprolalia -- I suppose the word Harry
might be using is 'MAgic' - Dursleys do treat it as a nasty swear
word, after all.
