That would be really intresting because we know so very little about 
the Ravenclaws. I would like that to happen. I also think its so 
silly that they don't have friend outside their own house. In some 
respects I think it's wrong.

Someone mentioned that Neville is under the imperious curse. I've got 
to say I don't belive that rumour at all, it has faults (it wears off 
like it did with Ron) and no noe has seen book 5 apart from JKR

Finwitch I agree with you when you said that Harry had too much on 
his mind to worry about Neville, but I would like to know how Neville 
reacted after hearing the news. The way I see that unforgiving curse 
lesson is that Neville knew who it was but had no proof so as a 
warning to "Moody" he raised his hand, after all he never answered 
anything unless it was herbology so to all of a sudden do this must 
of had another motive. But "Moody" warned him to keep his mouth shut 
by the demostration. That my opoin anyway.

Finwitch said
Neville's unfocused and uncontrolled with his magic. Some of this 
might have to do with him using his parents' wand (Just guessing it 
is so) and his mental trauma he'll overcome.

But one thing: Only Neville has ever had uncontrolled, accidental 
magic at Hogwarts! (And only in third book after starting Hogwarts 
things *just happen* to Harry... while it happens *all the time* to 
Neville...)

Like the cauldrons, and again I'm going to bring up the point that 
all other refrences to faulty cauldrons are that they leak e.g 
Percy's report, the pub etc, I think the melting thing is going to 
play a big part later on.

I would also know about Neville's mother. I still find it very 
strange that she is not mentioned by name and that she was tortured 
second. I think it was his mother who knew about Voldie and her 
husband was covering for her.
