Wait - was Ariana Dumbledore an obscurial??

Im just reading the last book and the description Aberforth gives the trio about his sister sounds a lot like an obscurial?

- Has magic but suppresses it.

- Sometimes resulting in uncontrollable outbursts of magic (nearly destroying the house, especially if she is upset) which are not described any nearer

- would be considered dangerous and locked up if anyone found out

- fragile mental state-ish

- accidentally killed her mother in one of those outbursts

"An Obscurus is developed under very specific conditions: trauma associated with the use of magic, internalised hatred of one’s own magic and a conscious attempt to suppress it."

- J.K. Rowling

Her fate reminds me so much of Credence..

Anyone else ever thought about this? Because I can't get it out of my mind.
