What's the meaning of "ley sniveled" and in this sentence?
He ley sniveled.
I know that "sniveled" comes from the verb "to snivel", but I've never seen "ley" written anywhere.
Thank you in advance!

'Sniveling' is being nervous or suppressing tears. 'Ley' I would think just means lay. I suspect JKR used this word because of its mythological connections, such as in 'ley lines' (lines joining ancient monuments or religious sites) and because it sounds like lay. (It is a homophone).

In original: "Dud ley snieveled".
It's just misprint - excessive whitespace. Correct phrase: "Dudley snieveled".
