→‎Greater Picture: some wording tweaks; and Potions class isn't actually where Snape brews this potion

Readers also 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 function within the Wizarding world despite lacking magical powers. Neville's family employed extreme lengths to coax out any magical powers he might possess, most likely fearing the social stigma that having a Squib family member, particularly a pure-blood one, 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 wizard, though it initially appears his magical ability is rather weak. However, this changes as the series progresses, mostly due to Harry's patient efforts.
 
Ironically, Neville's family may have created 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 may have applied strong memory charms to alleviate Neville's painful recollections about this traumatic event. Unfortunately, these charms, applied too strongly or liberally, can damage a wizard's mental and magical abilities, perhaps permanently, particularly in one so young. 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 erase some very damaging information, though he, unconcerned about inflicting lasting injury, probably used little restraint. Neville's and Bertha's similar conditions suggests there may be some similarity in their causes.
 
Considering the connections between Harry and Neville, revealed in the fifth book, it is interesting to note that they are polar opposites: butwhile couldHarry's haveMuggle sharedfamily tried to "squash the samemagic out of him," the Longbottoms tried to force-feed Neville magic. We will find out fatethat, according to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sybill Trelawney|Trelawney's]] [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Prophecy|prophecy]]., Whileit could have been either Neville or Harry's Mugglewho familywould triedend toup "squashfacing theVoldemort; magicit outmight ofbe interesting himto speculate," theas LongbottomsHarry trieddoes tolater, force-feedwhat would have happened had Voldemort thought that Neville, magicbeing pure-blood wizard, was the infant the prophecy referred to.
 
The social stigma associated with having a Squib relative is mentioned two other times. In speaking about his own family, while aboard the Hogwarts Express in ''Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone'', Ron says he has a relative who is an accountant, but his family rarely mentions her. And we will see, in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']], that when [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ariana Dumbledore|Dumbledore's sister]] was hidden from the neighbours due to her mental affliction, the immediate, though incorrect, assumption by others was that she was a Squib.

* "... and even stopper death." This likely refers to the potion that Snape will use to preserve Professor Dumbledore's life when he runs afoul of the curse in the ring [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Horcrux|Horcrux]] (revealed in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 33|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']]).
* "... the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Draught of Living Death|Draught of Living Death]]." Preparation of this potion appears in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 9|''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']], where it is used as a device to show the superiority of the marginal notes in the textbook Harry is using over the standard text. While the UK / Canadian version of the book does not include this passage, in the US / Scholastic edition, Dumbledore, bargaining with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco]] [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 27|late in ''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']], mentions that if Draco wants to hide from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]], it is possible to make him and his entire family seem dead. While the technique is never mentioned, it is quite possible that it includes this potion.
* "As for monkshood and wolfsbane, they are the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite..." possibly foreshadowforeshadows the arrival of Remus Lupin in the third book. It is interesting to note that Snape's brewing of this potion may point to Snape's true affiliation.
* "Where would you find a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Bezoar|bezoar]]?" A vital part of an antidote Harry is brewing in Potions class in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Goblet of Fire/Chapter 22|''Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'']], it is noteworthy because Harry, agitated by the proximity of the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Yule Ball|Yule Ball]], forgets it. A bezoar constitutes Harry's entire answer to an antidote quiz in Potions class [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince/Chapter 18|''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']], and reappears shortly after that where Harry uses it to save Ron's life.
