3. Nop. 1. I didn't notice until later.

3. It actually makes a lot of sense. Ariana wa attacked by the muggles, and fro mm that point in she refused to practice magic, or use it in any way. This could easily be the cause of an obscurus. However there's more. Her father attacks the muggles, and when caught he refuses to tell the court why. Apparently he was afraid they would take Ariana away if they "knew what she had become." Why? It doesn't make sense if she's simply traumatized. Well is she's an obscureal it makes perfect sense. You saw how the MACUSA reacted, it's possible Arian would have been killed. But the final clue is Grindelwald and her death. All we know about he argument that broke out is that Aberforth said Ariana was in no shape to be dragged along by their plans. Grindelwald then argued that if their plans succeeded she would no longer need to hide. A duel broke out, and Ariana, "unable to control her magic", was inadvertently killed. Again, sounds a lot like an obscureal. It also seems that Grindelwald and Albus may have thought their plan would allow her to come out of hiding as one, and perhaps survive. This also explains how Grindelwald knew so much about obscureals in the first place, and why he came all the way to New York to help one, despite having plenty of magic of his own.
