Unlike his son, who is quite modest, Amos likes to boast about his son's accomplishments and gives Harry a hard time. He is quite emotional and often gets carried away with himself. The Diggory family lives outside Ottery St. Catchpole, near the Weasley family.
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Amos Diggory who found Winky lying beneath the Dark Mark at the Quidditch World Cup and questioned her about what happened. Later, he asked Arthur Weasley to help Alastor Moody out of trouble the day Barty Crouch Jr. and Peter Pettigrew kidnapped him: thinking the incident was another false alarm, he wanted to ensure that Moody's new job at Hogwarts wouldn't be jeopardized.
Amos was openly rude to Harry before the Third Task—making Molly Weasley very angry, and almost starting a confrontation with her before his wife stopped him. After his son's death, he thanked Harry for returning Cedric's body to him and his wife, and assured Harry that they didn't blame him for Cedric's death

Years before, she had accidentally discovered that Barty Crouch Jr. was still alive, though Barty Crouch Sr. silenced her with a Memory Charm, that damaged her memory permanently. Voldemort tortured her to break through the Memory Charm, which gave Voldemort the knowledge that the Triwizard Tournament will be happenning and that Crouch Jr. was still alive. Voldemort used this information to formulate a plan in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Bertha Jorkins was at Hogwarts the same time as James Potter and company. Shw was known as nosy and with a good head for gossip.
