Have you noticed that in quite a few occasions the wizard hospital was 
mentioned? Same thing with the Longbottoms. in the first book we just 
know Neville is brougt up by his Grandmother, but we don't know why 
till GoF. So IMHO we'll probably have some contact to both the 
Longbottoms and to the Hoptial in the next books;) And the way the 
theme Longbottom is growing, it will probably be something BIG too
(I hope this Story isn't too old, I'm still qiute new)
