I thought Neville showed his magic so late in life (at like 8 or something 
like that) he almost didn't make it into Hogworts.. Atleast that's the 
impression I got.....

HP book 1 page 125 The Sorting Hat
"Well my gran brought me up and she's a witch," said Nevill, "but tthe 
family thougth I was all -Muggle for ages"...."--but nothing happened until 
I was 8. Great Uncle Algie came round for dinner , and he was hanging me out 
of an upstairs window by the ankles when my Great Aunt Enid offered him a 
meringue and he accidently let go. But i bounced-- all the way down the 
garden and into the road.  They were all really pleased, Gran was crying, 
she was so happy. ANd you should have seen thier faceswhen I got in here-- 
they thougth I might not be magic enough to come you see. Great Uncle Algie 
was so pleased he boght me my toad."
