Is this sentence an inversion?

In the sentence, I guess, ‘Don’t you care about’ is not an interrogative sentence , nor imperative sentence. Then is it just an inversion of ‘ You don’t care about’?

"Don't you care about Gryffindor, do you only care about yourselves, I don't want Slytherin to win the house cup, and you'll lose all the points I got from Professor McGonagall for knowing about Switching Spells."

Rowling is a sophisticated writer. She took poetic license there, comma-splicing two interrogative sentences onto two declarative clauses. The idea is that Hermione is running her mouth non-stop.
