At the age of six, Ariana was attacked by Muggle boys who saw her practicing magic, and, when she couldn't show them the trick, attacked her in an attempt to stop her from using the magic. This left her traumatised to the point of rendering her magical abilities unstable and uncontrollable.
In Deathly Hallows, Dumbledore explains to Harry that the real reason Ariana was kept hidden was because they feared she'd be seen as a threat to the International Statute of Secrecy and shipped off to St. Mungo's. So, Ariana was kept hidden away, and at fourteen, one of her outbursts resulted in her mother's death.
The victim of this act was a six-year-old girl, Ariana Dumbledore, the younger sister of brilliant future Hogwarts headmaster Albus and future Hog's Head barman Aberforth. 'When my sister was six years old, she was attacked, set upon, by three Muggle boys.

"I always saw Dumbledore as gay," Rowling said in response to a fan question about Dumbledore's love life. "Dumbledore fell in love with Grindelwald" and was "blinded" by it.
Rowling said in an interview that Dumbledore was about 150 years old. However, on her website, she states that Dumbledore was born in 1881, making him either 115 or 116 at the time of his death.
Tragically, even though Credence was saved from Grindelwald's Avada Kedavra, he is dying because of his Obscurus (having survived so long only because of the powerful magic within him).
In the opening scene of The Secrets of Dumbledore, Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) revealed that he was in fact in love with Gellert Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen) when they were teenagers, and the blood oath was a witness of their love.
How Tina's absence in 'The Secrets of Dumbledore' is explained: She got a fancy job promotion. In the first "Fantastic Beasts" film, Tina was an ex-Auror who wanted to be one again. Warner Bros.
Also, Dumbledore knows Harry was mistreated because he told Harry “you had suffered. I knew you would when I left you on your aunt and uncle's doorstep.

Albus's brother, Aberforth, subsequently broke Dumbledore's nose at Ariana's funeral.
According to the author, Severus Snape's birthday is 9 January 1960 and he died on 2 May 1998 at the age of 38.
According to the author, Minerva McGonagall's birthday is 4 October, and she is about seventy years old when the series begins.
Translation for the non-Harry Potter set: Dumbledore and Grindelwald are both wizards introduced in the original Rowling books; Rowling revealed after publishing her series that Dumbledore was gay, and very much in love with Grindelwald.
Grindelwald was infatuated with Dumbledore. Both ingenious wizards with somewhat extreme ambitions, the two became inspired to find the Deathly Hallows and lead a revolution that would destroy the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, allowing wizards to rise as benign worldly overlords.
Aberforth Dumbledore
Aberforth is the younger brother of Albus Dumbledore and owner of The Hog's Head Inn in Hogsmeade. He clearly has quite a lot of resentment towards his brother, as well as Grindelwald, which is mainly due to the death of his and Albus' little sister, Ariana.
In his later life, he married a Muggle-born witch named Kendra with whom he had three children: Albus (who bore the same as his second name), Aberforth, and Ariana.
