Many of these qualities may have come about because even though Barbara's parents embarrass her, they love her deeply and she knows it. Her mother might be a pushy, passive-aggressive, guilt-tripping social climber, and her father might be overprotective and unfairly harsh on any boys she might take home later on (not to mention he collects ships-in-bottles), but they both love her to death.  They've always encouraged her to be who she is. Her mom is also not that good of a cook, which might be why Barbara's cooking talent was able to flourish so much. She has held Bake Sales in her Muggle neighborhood every summer since she was nine.

Barbara's likes are girly things (like fashion and accessories), cooking, and making new friends. Her best quality is probably either her kindness/friendliness or her cooking skills, while her worst quality is probably that she's bad at pretty much everything else (she can't really go a day without spilling something, tripping on something, including her own feet, or bumping into someone). She's trying, though. Her best memories are all the times she's spent with her friends at Barbara's Bakery, and her worst memory is probably the time last year when she had a crush on a boy and everyone found out (so embarrassing). She can't cast a Patronus, but if she did it would be a hummingbird; if she ever met a boggart, it would be a giant pair of scissors, since she takes great pride in her long hair and would hate for it to be cut.
