A real bangy idea just came to me-- what if *Neville*, toddler 
Neville had a temper tantrum -- and *that* is what caused his parents 
torture? The *first* time he ever did any magic, not understanding it 
at all. Then, he simply forgot it... but he *is* feeling guilty, 
because somewhere deep inside he remembers - remembers when ever 
something is hurt- He's afraid to do magic because someone might get 
hurt; So afraid that only instinct of survival could bring it out of 
him.

He seems to be close in coming to terms with Crouch's spider. Did 
Moody know? Did Crouch Jr. know?

Neville can't learn effective magic until he gets in terms with the 
torturer!Neville
