I lean against. One of the few things that has been established
about Neville's character is that he has a strong sense of
integrity. I think he'll do fine if tempted by Voldemort, whether by
a promise to restore his parents to normality or anything else.
Time, of course, will tell . . . <glances impatiently at calendar>
I must point out that it is only in the imagination of Steven Kloves
that Voldemort tempts *anyone* with the return of his parents. JKR,
thank goodness, wrote nothing so trite. Voldemort urges Harry to
join him, but all he offers him is to spare his own life, not to
bring back his parents (and there's no indication that Harry's
tempted even to buy his life with the Stone).
