And here are my two sickles worth:

I'm a closet Neville Longbottom fangirl, and I will cry too if he 
dies, but I agree completely with your idea of his two roads he'll 
have to face.

Will he choose the road less traveled by or will he be one of the 
sheep and follow the path of those before him who have turned evil?

I would like him to die a heroes death if he does infact have to die. 
(This would be the road less traveled by). I think it would be noble 
and everyone would think highly of him to do that =)
