Why would you put Neville in Hufflepuff?  I thought Hufflepuff were 
supposed to be hard workers, and although he's certainly not lazy I 
wouldn't say we see him working incredibly hard.  Also, I think the 
things Neville has been through with his parents make him a lot more 
worthy to be in Gryffindor than we might think at first.  But yes, I 
do have to admit I had wondered why the Hat put him there before I 
read GoF.
