I agree that "our" Neville will have a defining role to play. As I reread
SS, I was struck by how Neville seemed to be "around" more than I recall
from first reading; a good deal of effort was put into his character in
SS, only to have him fade into minor-characterdom in the later books. It
seems that we would not need to know so much about him now, unless he
had a much bigger role later. No idea what such role might be.
