Virginia Gray suffered from schizophrenia or some other mental illness.	None	+ Her insistence on how 'special' Gabriel was may have been a delusion of some sort. • She and her husband bought Gabriel, suggesting they weren't able to conceive on their own. In her own way, healthy or not, he was special, at least to her. + Virginia's first assumption when Gabriel showed off his abilities was that he was a demon. That seems highly illogical, given the lack of religious icons in her home. - She may have been using the word demon colloquially, more or less calling Sylar evil. + She had no idea how Gabriel acquired his abilities. Taking that into account, her response to his new powers (deciding that he is a demon wearing her son's form) makes little sense. - She wouldn't need to know how he acquired them. She only started calling him a demon after she saw Sylar's rather sinister expression, and after he hurt her. - It actually, it makes complete sense. She was confronted with something terrifying and unknown; most people would (at first) believe it to be the work of the devil. - Lack of religious icons does not automatically denote atheism. - Most mothers want their children to be special. There's nothing unusual about that.
