LoL! Awwww . . .

Well, I think Neville might very possibly have a bit of a crush on 
Hermione, or develop one in the future. He did ask Ginny to the Yule 
Ball, though -- but maybe that's because he considers Hermione "out 
of his league." I like Neville, I feel a great deal of sympathy for 
him, and I hope that he becomes closer to the trio as the books 
progress.

However, I found it distinctly ominous that in PoA when Harry 
pictures the scene between Sirius in Pettigrew in the street after he 
finds out that Sirius "betrayed" his parents, he pictures Peter as 
looking like Neville. Could have just been a convenient comparison, 
but it could also have been some nice foreshadowing. I only caught 
that when I listened to the audio version.

I don't think Neville'd ever go the way of Peter, though. We see in 
PS that he's got a backbone.
