[HPforGrownups] Neville

No: HPFGUIDX 12777

It strikes me taht there seem to be lots of times that the lifes of Harry and his father "connect" .... and there seems some similarities too .... as the friendship between him, Hermione, Ron and Neville resembles the friendship of James, Sirius, Lupin and Peter .........

But: as Dumbledore explains to Harry: "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." 

It seems to me that Neville allready showed that he might play a very different role in Harry's future than Peter did in his fathers .....

  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.
