Perhaps this is a key. As I understand, magicians find out they have 
certain powers later in their training, for instance, I'm sure that 
aurors have a certain power that other magicians don't and same with 
animagus etc....these powers/abilities obviously come to light during 
wizard training. Perhaps Neville has a special ability to detect dark 
magic, death eaters, dark mark's etc. and will one day use this to 
fight Voldemort and help Harry. This is just a theory. ( i have a 
soft spot for Neville!)
