My thoughts:

There is a reason why Neville was placed into Gryffindor, and it 
wasn't to stand up to the Gryffindor Trio in their first year. No, 
his importance is still needed..... just *what* it is going to be.. 
we don't know.

I have a feeling he's going to either save the day, or die while 
trying to protect everyone. He's going to discover his ability to 
conjure spells and other wizard-like things. Perhaps he'll be the 
hero with his Herbology skillz (yes with a "z").. or perhaps he'll 
try and do something foolish to save everyone and die.

However, Neville's past history has been told--making him a major 
character now. Only the major characters have had their pasts told to 
us... and now he's one of them.... I just wish I knew *what* his 
destiny is!
