A Goldfeesh asks:

Why couldn't it be Neville?  After all Dicentra pointed out that 
these aren't strict parallels and Neville seems to fit all your 
criteria.  

1- He stood up to the Trio in PS and he took on Crabbe and Goyle in 
PS also.

2-He has a sense of humor as he was able to laugh along when he was 
turned into a canary by Fred and George.

3-I believe he has a strong sense of right and wrong due to the 
attack on his parents.

I find him similiar to Lily in another point.  Both were willing to 
stand up to Housemates and say "You are doing wrong."  Lily did this 
when James and Sirius were bullying Snape and Neville when he caught 
the Trio sneaking out of the dorm.

post couldn't find it.  Hopes that perhaps this is due to the 
formatting getting fixed?)
