Severus Snape and The Incident - Neville - again

[Felicia Rickmann]

No: HPFGUIDX 40066

Each house has its characteristics does it not? (Adumbrated at length early
on Potterverse.)

So, I had Neville down - on current character, and Despite standing up to
the threesome in PS and Despite having his Mum and Dad all but destroyed by
one of the currently much discussed Unforgivables- as a Hufflepuff, hard
working  etc., etc.,

Not a discipline but more an attitude and approach to things (as general
house characteristics seem to indicate) Neville is good at Herbology not the
bold and dearless Gryffindor * limelight stealing * that Harry and friends
partke of.  From the talents Neville has displayed so far, and with no
indication to the contrary I think I have every right to be puzzled and
expect more of an explanation

Later, perhaps * G * in book 5.

Or should I call it "The Book That Must Not Be Named"
