Ah, I see.  Won't it be funny if he suddenly become a potions genius?  Maybe 
even a new Professor when he graduates?

After I wrrote the last message I began to think about Neville's 
envolvement.  Was the trio supposed to be a foursome originally?  Afterall, 
Neville did began the journey to the actual Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone 
with H, H, and R.  He's even on the bookmark reenactment...

Maybe JKR disagreed with her originaly casting of him as one of the main 
characters.  I just remember thinking when I started reading COS that there 
was less of Neville then I expected.

Hmmpht, Oh well, I guess will never know.
