Hello this is my first time of replying so hope that I'm not breaking any
rules (there are a lot to take in!)

Leanne Daharja Veitch says ." I'm convinced that Neville Longbottom is /
will turn traitor".

I think that, being so good at herbology, he will actually invent the remedy
to cure his parents (who aren't dead but are insane) and other people in the
same state.. This seems to tie in with  the importance of tolerance and not
judging on surface appearances; it always seems to me as if Neville is being
set up as a dunce to surprise us all and give him room to develop - ie basic
motivations are just as important as cleverness.
