I'm sorry if my original post was confusing. I do not think Neville is older than 
Harry. I meant to say that Neville was older _when he was traumatised_ than 
Harry was when Harry was traumatised--this from Dumbledore's explanation 
that the Longbottoms were injured AFTER Voldemort's downfall. I didn't know 
whether "after" was 2 days, 2 months, or 2 years but I actually thought it 
might have been as much as a year or two after the Incident at Godric's 
Hollow.
