I love Neville! He's just so sweeeeeeet!

Something else to add to your list though: Dumbledore mentions that his parents were driven crazy after being tortured by Voldemort's Death Eaters--they're now at St. Mungo's, and cannot recognize him. That's got to give a healthy dose of courage and bravery, doesn't it? He's just so sweet, but there's a lot of pain he carries around. The fact that he can still deal with the abuse of his peers and teachers just shows that even more.
