I'm pretty new around here, and I was just thinking about posting 
something about Neville.  I started thinking about this while 
thinking "Why was he put in Gryffindor?"  And I too, came to the 
conclusion that he will come to play a pivotal role later, with the 
fate of his parents finally revealed.
