I think that Neville will do something great in the future, though what that "great" 
thing is, is still unknown.

I agree with what you wrote. 

Neville has always been considered the fifth wheel of the Gryffindor Boys. 
While Seamus/Dean and Ron/Harry are always off together as friends, poor 
Neville is left all alone.

Or is he?

We know for a fact that he's good at Herbology, so perhaps he made friends 
with a few of the Hufflepuffs from Herbology or another class. He could have 
friends we don't even know about from other houses, due to Harry being so 
stuck on himself and his problems.

If he has enough guts to get a date to a dance before Harry/Ron, why not go 
make friends from other houses =).

If someone had told me they lived with their Grandmother, I would have 
immediately asked what happened to his/her parents. But NONE of the 
Gryffindors do that.

I have this hunch that Neville will become Stud!Neville in either book 5 or 6. 
He'll have a huge change in character that will cause people to see him in a 
whole new light.
