Neville is such a quiet timid boy, yet he carries this huge knowledge
about his parents' condition and how it came about. You have to wonder if
he remembers what they were like before the Cruciatus Curse was used on
them. Also everyone rather expects him not to say much at all in class,
so his piping up regarding such a terrifying curse is surprising. And his
expression upon seeing the curse that destroyed his parents was probably
similar to the horror that was most likely on Harry's face (even though
it wasn't described) when Moody demonstrated the Avada Kedavra Curse.

Although I feel so sorry for Neville, I think knowing this about him,
gives his character a depth that wasn't there before. I am looking forward
to seeing what's in store for Neville in the coming books. And contrary
to the theory that he will betray Harry a la Pettigrew, I think he'll
demonstrate a fortitude heretofore not seen.

BTW, anyone else notice that Avada Kedavra sounds an awful lot like
Abracadabra?
