{{Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Intermediate Spoiler}}
 
As a side note, it is interesting that Jorkin's memory problems seem somewhat similar to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Neville Longbottom|Neville Longbottom]]'s. Is it possible that he could have been likewise charmed as a small child? If he was, why or by whom is unknown. One possibility is that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Augusta Longbottom|his grandmother Augusta]] could have charmed him to prevent what happened to his parents from haunting him. If that is the case, it is also worth noting that Professor McGonagall mentions that Augusta failed her Charms O.W.L. test. Considering Neville's increasingly important role in the later books, it is alsoseems possible he may unknowingly hold important information that someone wants to remain concealed, althoughthough this is only speculation. It may be that his memory and magical abilities were affected by the extreme trauma in his life, resulting in his development in these areas being stunted. Regardless, Neville constantly struggles to break through an ever-present fog that clouds his memory and affects his magical powers. If his memory has been tampered with, it may be nearly impossible to break the charm without causing permanent damage, as was the case with Bertha Jorkins.
 
Neville's memory problems will plague him throughout the series, althoughthough, with Harry's help, he gradually outgrows this handicap, as well as his magical impairment, to develop into a capable wizardWizard. However, the source of his memory problems is never actually explained, and whether it was from early childhood trauma, a dark spell, or some other cause remains unknown, and it does not play a significant role in the story's eventual outcome.
 
In considering Fudge's motives for minimizing Cedric's condition, it should be remembered that Fudge is the consummate politician, interested in retaining power for power's sake only. It is only natural that he would "spin" any situation into something less negative to protect his chances for retaining his office. When Harry first returns with Cedric's body, Fudge maintained that Cedric was only injured, not to protect Cedric's parents, but partly to prevent mass panic by the crowd, and mostly to protect his own interests. Fudge desperately wants to avoid the Triwizard Tournament, for which he was instrumental in reviving, being remembered as an event resulting in a student's death. Like many politicians, Fudge has lost the long view, forgetting that no matter what he says here, Cedric's death will be always be remembered.
 
Adding further insult both to Cedric's memory and Harry's heroism, the Ministry will later claim that Diggory's death was nothing more than a tragic accident. Like many politicians, Fudge has lost the long view, forgetting that no matter what he says here, Cedric's death will be always be remembered. Fudge will later dispute Harry's claims that Voldemort has returned. Again, Fudge is unable to face being known as the Minister who was in power when Voldemort returned, so he must deny, first, that Voldemort has returned, second, that Voldemort killed Cedric, and finally, that Voldemort was involved in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bartemius Crouch Sr.|Mr. Crouch's]] mysterious illness. This refusal to believe, and then to act, will prove important in the next book, resulting in repercussions against Harry, Professor Dumbledore, and Hogwarts. The Ministry's continued inactivity combined with Voldemort's hidden presence, will also make it easier for the Dark Lord to regroup his Death Eaters' core members.
