>>>>>>>>>>>I think it isn't the faux Moody's encouragement that's making
Neville lie
awake that night. I think it's because he's suffering post-traumatic
stress
syndrome from seeing faux Moody perform the Crucio curse in class that
day.
Someone floated the idea awhile ago that Neville might have had his
memory
altered with memory charms because he witnessed the attack on his
parents.
Neville's poor memory is notorious--but he's obviously struggling with
something after class that day. Is it just the knowledge that his
parents
underwent what he just witnessed? Or did his original memory suddenly
come
flooding back?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...... Poor memory... Memory charm.... Remember how
someone said that Bertha Jorkins's memory got messed up by a memory
charm? Everyone kept saying that it would be like her to get lost for a
month, that she's a flake, etc. SOmeone somewhere along the line
attributed this to the memory charm.



>>>>>>>>>>>Interesting. I hope Neville will tell us what he remembers in
a later
book. This plot thread has suddenly made Neville much more
interesting--just like Snape. The mysterious past intrigues . . .

I agree and now knowing what we know about his parents, there is NO WAY
that this isn't going to become more important later on. Also remember
that Neville's parents are not dead-- they were driven mad. Could their
curse be reversed?? Could they return to fight Voldemort?
