Sally-Anne is an only child. Her father passed away when she was 2 years old. Her mother had a lot of trouble after this; she was very delicate. Sally-Anne and her mother moved in with her grandmother. Sally-Anne's grandmother lived close to the Weasleys and Sally-Anne often played with Ginny when she was little, however, Sally-Anne was scared of the older boys, Ron and his brothers, as they were very rowdy. Sally-Anne's mother was a witch, but as she suffered from nervous trouble, she never did much witchcraft. Sally-Anne's grandmother was a witch also, but not a very good one. She could do very little spells and dropped out of Hogwarts after her second year. Grandmother did most of the parenting during Sally-Anne's early years as her father's early demise had unsettled an already fragile mother.
