I can't bear the thought of Neville going that way.  I also don't 
think it's very plausible, considering that we now know how his 
parents suffered at the hands of V's followers.  He has more reasons 
than most to hate everything V stands for.  Neville, as you say has 
backbone, and I have a strong feeling that he would do anything 
rather than betray everything his parents believed in and sacrificed 
their sanity for.   This is fine as Neville appears to be basically a 
decent person.  Someone else may resent their parents for sacrificing 
themselves and making him practically an orphan by standing up to V.  
He also has seen what torture has done to his parents.  Would he be 
able to stand up to the same kind of treatment, knowing what happened 
to them?  I have a feeling that we are going to find out exactly how 
strong Neville is.
