Harry and Ron constantly getting lost shows the castle's magical qualities and its overall enormity. Hogwarts harbors countless secrets, many that become important later in the series. Because the castle is so confusing, Harry. Ron, Neville, and Hermione end up in the third floor corridor; escaping Filch, they enter that corridor by accident, and will thereby learn something very important to the overall story.
 
Although Neville says his family believed he might have been a "Muggle", a more accurate description would be a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Squib|"Squib."]] Without specifically mentioning yet what exactly they are, the author appears to be dropping a hint about Squibs. It will be learned later that Squibs are born into Wizard families, but through some genetic quirk, they lack any magical ability. In addition to the pure-bloods, half-bloods, and Muggle-borns noted in the above "Analysis" section, Squibs are yet another division inwithin that social order; theysome areWizards treatedtreat them almost as outcasts by some Wizards, and theySquibs are often encouraged to integrate themselves into Muggle society. Readers learn later that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arabella Figg|Mrs. Figg]], Harry's odd [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Privet Drive|Privet Drive]] neighbor, and Mr. Filch, are both Squibs who have managed to function within the Wizarding world despite lacking magical powers. Neville's family obviously tried hard to coax out any magical powers he might possess, most likely fearing the social stigma that having a Squib family member generates. As extreme (and downright silly and dangerous) as their attempts were to prove otherwise, it finally resulted in Neville showing that he is indeed a wizardWizard, though it appears his magical ability is rather weak. However, this changes over the course of the series, mostly due to Harry's efforts.
 
Ironically, it was likely Neville's family that caused his problems, though their intentions were good. It will be learned that Neville's parents, who were [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Auror|Aurors (Dark Wizard catchers)]], were tortured into insanity by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]]'s [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Death Eaters|Death Eaters]]. Neville's relatives apparently used strong memory charms to alleviate Neville's painful recollections about this traumatic event. Unfortunately, these charms, applied too strong or abundantly, can damage a Wizard's mental and magical abilities, perhaps permanently. Another character, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bertha Jorkins|Bertha Jorkins]], later in the series, will suffer a similar affliction after [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bartemius Crouch Sr.|Bartemius Crouch]] casts a powerful memory charm on her to prevent the release of some very damaging information, though he likely was unconcerned whether or not it inflicted any lasting damage.
