So what's the deal with t-shirts?  Do all Wizards wear them under their
robes?  Is it only Harry?  Does he wear it only under Quidditch robes?  Or
under all robes?

Not necessarily.  Neville's parents were only tortured after everyone
thought it was all over, the DE's done away with, Voldemort vanished, peace
had returned to the WW.  Which is why it came as such a shock to the entire
WW.  Which means it had to be (in my mind) at least two or three years after
the death of Harry's parents.  Or else it wouldn't have been such a stunning
event.  Neville could've been as young as three, in which case it's true, he
wouldn't remember much.  However, he could've, in theory, been as old as
five or six, in which case he'd remember a lot more about his parents.  Or
rather, his parents while sane.

So far, I've heard that when Crouch was masquerading as Moody that he put
Neville under cruciatus(?)(Remeber the part in the book where he gives him
the herbology book? This is where it's supposed to happen) and that Neville
will be doing some surprising things to come. I got this from hearsay... I
read it on a site, someone who works at scholastic posted it. I don't know
how true it actually is.

I really, seriously doubt this is real.  Since no one (NO ONE!) has seen a
script.  If Bloomsbury hasn't seen one, I'm sure Scholastic hasn't.  It not
only sounded a little, err, odd, far-fetched, etc., it also didn't sound,
well, it was rather dull.  They can't Imperious everyone, and that was used
quite a bit in GoF.  I think it needs a rest in OoP.
