    (snipped out parts)

   If you want to be really mean you could have the
Death Eaters up Neville under Imperious and then have
him use one of his parents wands to torture them.
While he would not be stropng enough to do any real
damage, a Death Eater could stand behind him and make
it seem to Neville that he was torturing his parents.
This could also be why he does poorly at magic. His
first remembered used of magic is torturing his
parents.
