Dear Professor Dumbledore,
I have reason to believe that a certain Professor at your school, whom I believe goes by the name 'Professor Snape', has been verbally abusing my grandchild.
The situation first brought itself to light when I asked him to help me with a spot of spring cleaning over the Easter holidays; poor lad came across a boggart and you can imagine my horror when it was revealed that my grandson's greatest fear is his teacher. I don't know what sort of standards you're enforcing nowadays Dumbledore but I will not subject my grandson to bullying from a person who is supposed to help him achieve his full potential.
Child abuse is not acceptable Dumbledore. I know you have a soft heart and can only assume your reasons for hiring this man centre around some tragic backstory involving unrequited love or some other poppycock, but this is simply not acceptable.
Neville has always suffered due to the essential loss of his parents at such an early age, and being humiliated to the point of tears in front of his friends simply because he stirred a potion one time too many is in no way going to help the boys' confidence.
You're a teacher Dumbledore. How about you start acting like one and put the children's wellbeing first for once.
Yours sincerely
Augusta Longbottom
