Bathilda Bagshot

Explanation:

Gellert Grindelwald is her great-nephew, who used to live in Godricks Hollow after being expelled from Durmstrang. In Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 1- Grindelwald is potrayed by Jamie Campbell Bower.

Bathilda Bagshot is a noted historian and the author of the book : “A History of Magic”

She dies before Harry's arrival in Godric's Hollow, probably at the hand of Lord Voldemort (or one of his Death Eaters), who enchants her decaying body to use as an outer skin for his snake, Nagini to wait for Harry. The snake is then instructed to subdue Harry when he arrives in Bathilda's house looking for the sword until Voldemort himself can get there to finish him off.

Bathilda is a major source of information for Rita Skeeter's (a reporter at Daily Prophet) biography of Dumbledore, who extracts this information under the influence of Veritaserum; it is possible her memory is also modified following the "interview."

To see if I still feel

The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole

The old familiar sting

Try to kill it all away

But I remember everything”
