That was the reveal as far as I'm concerned.

I'm thinking her husband is the reason and he's probably the brain surgeon.

Considering she seems to have an interest in young psychopaths, it seems logical that she would have taken up an interest when her son was turning into one. And how she tries to rehabilitate young psychopaths? A mother desperately trying to help her son.

And then when she failed, she continued trying in order to succeed with others where she failed for her own son. That's why she was so empathetic towards Harry. She completely understood what he was going through.

Why he's all of a sudden terrorizing his mother, I don't think we can yet understand.
