Actually, there is a fic about that very subject - it's by Shanna Seanachai,
and although I forget the title, she's on ffn under that handle, so just
search for her and look at the
summaries. It hasn't gotten very far as of yet, but what's there is
promising for some good development. I will warn you, however, that it's
also slash (i.e. male/male romance).

Hey :) (I wrote a little bit more of it, Firebolt, by the way. Maybe you'll
see it soon).

Oh, and it's about Neville/DADA teacher, by the way, not the memory thing,
so... ^_^ I think Charmian might have gotten a little confused by that.

As for the Neville memory curse thing, I think people have mainly come to
that conclusion because of the thing with Bertha Jorkins - it's commented in
the book that Bertha was very forgetful, and it's because she had a memory
spell put on her (gar, forgot by who though - was it Voldemort? Or was that
after? Cant' check either, I loaned GoF out to someone). So someone (who
knows who?) drew a parallel between her and Neville, and wondered if maybe a
Memory Spell was put on Neville because as a small child he saw his parents
tortured - or it was put on him by the Death Eaters who tortured them, so
that he wouldn't recognize them...or similar situations...
Another idea some people go for is that he also had the Cruciatus Curse put
on him when his parents were tortured, though not as much as his parents -
and that his generally scatterbrained attitude is a side affect of that.
Whatever it is, I do love Neville. I can't help but get perfectly furious
when people go off with the idea that maybe Neville will become a Death
Eater in the fashion of Peter Pettigrew - they aren't anything alike!
Neville doesn't hang around with Harry and the gang because they have the
upperhand - because, let's face it, most of the time they don't - Draco
does. I think Neville is a moral degree higher than Wormtail. I don't think
he would ever ditch Harry.
Colin Creevy on the other hand....
(I'll just shut my mouth. ^_^)
