Carol responds:

Good God, that would be horrible! The whole point of Neville is that
he's superior to Bellatrix. Having him stoop to her level would be
reprehensible. In my opinion, of course.

I disliked the line given to him in the OoP film where he said that
his parents were about to be avenged. In the book, Neville is brave
but not sadistic or vengeful. And that's what makes him admirable.
Harry is tempted by revenge. Neville isn't. (Not that Harry isn't
admirable, but, perhaps because of the soul bit in him, he struggles
with anger and revenge. Neville, in contrast, struggles with
self-confidence and self-esteem. He'll fight, and die fighting if he
has to, but he won't resort to torture, which is cruelty inflicted to
punish or extract information, not a form of combat.) 

Carol, understanding that you're entitled to your opinion but holding
a very different view
