Moira says that Trotter is known for his "incredible feats of magic". A "feat of magic" is a remarkable act of magic, not to be confused with one's "feet" which are a part of the body. The term "feat" is spelt with an "a", although it is pronounced the same as "feet". A "feat" is an "exploit" or "act".
Moira does talk about Trotter being drunk at the time of his arrest, however this is not one of the things he is famous for. Being drunk is the reason for which Trotter was arrested, not one of things he is known for. The adjective "lifelong" is a term meaning "through the course of one's life", or "during one's life". For example: Horatio is Bruno's lifelong friend. A "struggle" is a combat or strenuous effort. For example: "It is a struggle to survive in the desert without water".
Moira mentions that Trotter is well known for his "feats of magic", meaning his magical efforts. A "feat" is a remarkable act or effort. Do not confuse this with the parts of your body "feet" which is spelt with two "e"s. Moira is not referring to Trotter's "feet" but rather to his ability to perform magic.
Moira states that Trotter is famous for his "adorable little smile". The word "adorable" is a synonym for "cute". Both of these terms describe someone or something as being "sweet and endearing". For example: Bunny rabbits are cute and fluffy.
Moira mentions that Trotter has a "bizarre lightning-shaped scar". This means that he has a strange mark on his face in the form of a lightning bolt. There is an amazing story behind this apparently. The "forehead" is the portion of the face between your eyes and your hairline. A "scar" is a mark left after a wound or injury has healed. Lightning is an electrical discharge from the sky.

Which of the following statements best explains the meaning of this phrase?
Grandfather has "contempt" for modern medicine, which means that he "despises", or greatly dislikes doctors and hospitals. The noun "contempt" expresses a strong, intense distaste or distrust for something.
"To have contempt for someone or something" expresses "dislike" or even "hatred" of a person or thing. This statement has nothing to do with "fear" or being afraid of hospitals and doctors.
Grandfather does not say this. "A lifelong belief" is a belief that someone has had throughout their life. To have "contempt" for something is to dislike or hate it.
Grandfather has always expressed his contempt for modern medicine, meaning that he has never liked doctors or hospitals. His statement doesn't express that Grandfather always wanted to be a doctor.
