Query about Neville

I keep wondering as to why Neville was sorted into Gryffindor.  Since
herbology is his best subject, he would be more suited for Hufflepuff.
Is there some potential about Neville that the Sorting Hat picked up,
but Neville hasn't found yet?  If so, the most likely reason is that he
doesn't believe in himself.  But we have seen sparks of his potential.
Remember the courage he found in standing up to HRH, and won 10 points
for Gryffindor?  Or the time he fought the Boggart?  The first time he
was extremely scared, but when he found that he was successful, and had
a good laugh in putting Snape in drag, he came up very determinably for
the second time.
