There is definitly more to the whole Neville Trevor duo then meets 
the eye.
This was discussed sometime back, I can't remember where though. I 
think we can safely say that he is not an animagus since that story 
plot has been done twice already.

I do agree that Trevor could be a representing Neville abilities.

I'm not convinced about it containing the souls of Mr and Mrs 
Longbottom because on the first occasssion we met Neville, his Gran 
was not overly worried about him losing Trevor.

A little theory of mine (not that I myself completely agree with it)
to cause a little scandle is Evil Gran/ Not so Bent Uncle Algie and 
vice versa. It goes as follows (it was also mentioned somewhere else 
before).

If Evil gran wanted the Longbottom estate then she would need Neville 
alive because it would be to suspicious if he was dead, but if he was 
a squib, then he can't inherite anything magical. As his guardian, it 
would go to gran. Gran is not a Longbottom by blood, I will, for this 
theory, assum that Algie is, probably a younger brother to her 
husband/son in law's father (we don't know which side of the family 
she is).
Great Uncle Aglie must have seen a lot of Neville to try and force 
magic out of him. He is already suspicious but has no proof. 
When Neville can do magic, Gran cries. That has always struck me as 
odd, it doesn't seem right for her somehow. But there still is not 
threat to her as he may not be magical enough to inherite (like 
Flitch, remember Neville says in COS almost a squib). Back to PS "You 
should have seen their faces when I got in". One very relived Uncle 
Aglie, one very stuned Gran who can't show dissapointment, she has to 
think of another way of inheriting. Family pride. 
Neville will be in the same year as Harry. Very convenient. Uphold 
the family name, and get yourself killed in the process, after all, 
she has been looking after Neville, she is not blame if something 
happens to him in school!!! She know too well that Neville has no 
confidence in himself and doesn't think he has any abilities yet she 
still go on about family pride, but she only starts doing this from 
the third book onwards, if you remember, Neville tells the others 
that Gran KNOWS that he always forgets things (see the rembembrall). 
Which answers the question of what was Neville about to say when he 
fell through the stairs in GOF.
Algie is two steps ahead of her! Trevor.
Neville is the only person with a toad. From the third book, Trevor 
isn't trying to get away from him any more, he was under his hat on 
the train!!! If someone found a stray toad without an owner, it would 
be Trevor but since when is Neville far away, like Flitch and Mrs 
Norris. Trevor is Algie's way of keeping an eye on Neville. Bit odd 
that Neville was still up and on his own in PS. Besides, Trevor 
always turned up AT Hogwarts (e.g. the boat). If something was wrong 
with Neville, Trevor could get help and no one could mistake him for 
anyone elses pet!


There is also Bent Uncle Algie/Not so evil Gran
This is pretty the same as a above but in reverse.
Uncle algie wants to get rid of Neville, because he is evil so tries 
to kill him in seemly "harmless" way for a good reason, let get some 
magic out of him, I mean how could you forget that you are hanging an 
eight year old out of a window!!!!! This would probably scare Neville 
from doing magic
However, this backfires and Neville can do magic after all. 
Even more so, he get into Hogwarts, one stunned Algie!!!
So he gives him Trevor, a rather usless and out of date pet.  Neville 
will be laughed at and no one would want to be seen dead with him, 
after all, Neville is not the kind of kid who would let a helpless 
toad go. 
Not only that but as Neville shares the year with Harry, Algie could 
us the toad as a spy, which was the one of the purposes of familiars. 
Very useful when Voldermort returns!!!!

Or it could be a combination of the two or neither at all.

Anyway, I've rambled on long enough. What do you think?
