Fyre Wood Replies:
Neville's actual placement on the list is toward the bottom 
under "Li, Sue" or something like that. It was a tad hard to read 
because the scan quality wasn't that great and Rowling sort of 
crossed out a few of the names.

The one that confuses me is where these other characteres are and why 
they haven't been mentioned. Perhaps they're just random characters 
that we will never meet--though I would like to have some of them say 
something once. That would be nice.

Also... Did anyone notice the amount of Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs on 
the list? Perhaps the theory of there being more 'Puffs and 'Claws is 
true.
