* Maybe she was [[RaisedByNatives raised by humans]] and never discovered her true origins, which explains why she's not as subtle as other witches and why she never takes her hatred of kids any further than non-lethal bullying. If she wasn't trained in child-killing like other witches are--if she never even knew ''why'' she hated kids--then her animosity toward children didn't have an outlet and just became impotent rage instead of deadly, insidious precision. On the other hand, if she ''did'' know she was a witch, that would lend a whole new meaning to her comment that she's glad she never was a child.

At the dealership, though it's very hard to see through the shadows, it can be assumed that Harry uses this as way to have a friendly face-to-face conversation with her, even though he was acting a little nervous at first when talking to the Trunchbull and even while looking at the size of her, he does agree that she's a ChildHater and a serious woman.

* We know that the Trunchball is emotionally and physically abusive towards Miss Honey, so it stands to reason that she could have been the same way towards Magnus when he was still alive. She actively wore him down over the years until he was barely a shell of himself and thus succumbed to a stroke or heart attack at a relatively young age, bought on by the stress of dealing with Trunchball.

** Alternatively, Matilda's power was not telekinesis at all. She was a spirit medium. Magnus was able to affect the living world because she was around and willing to help him. In the book, she lost the ability to control objects with her mind when his spirit passed on. Maybe in the movie, he was somehow able to give it to her permanently as a gift of gratitude.
