"Well, as I mentioned above- I think Trevor is - No!- not a cursed prince, but someone cursed. Damn my lack of imagination, I have no clue who it could be.maybe a friend of Neville and he - as almost ever- don't know about it? Heavens, this just bugs me.

What's about Trevor, any thoughts?"

Trevor being a cursed prince would be too simple. Therefore, maybe the allusion to this traditional figure is deliberate. Trevor the toad could be a way of meaning that Neville is not who he seems to be at first sight. After all, Neville does fit with the figure of the cursed prince, if it's true, as many of the listies supposed, that he is under a Memory Charm. A cursed prince is not himself, and if Neville's memory was modified, he isn't either himself. Trevor could be a metaphor, or even better an allegory of Neville's status. What could also be interesting in this interpretation is that in alchemy, they use sometime a black toad as an allegory for the mineral subject, the chaos from which they work to achieve the process that leads to the Philosopher Stone. Well, of course, it could mean nothing according to the series' processing. However, we can't deny that one of the teachers is "working" hard on Neville: Snape. Maybe the way he bullies him is a solution to make him fly off the handle, break the charm and be his old self again. It could work, for in PS/SS we saw Neville losing control during the second Quidditch match and fighting alone with Crabbe and Goyle, that is revealing a bravery we wouldn't have suspected before. Well, let's wait and see...
