Lucious is in Azkaban now, does that mean his "funding" will cease? If
he is behind it, and isn't around to continue it, then maybe
(hopefully) we will see some improvement in the Longbottoms.
(especially if his funding specifics are "secret" Narcissa may know he
gives them money, but may not know why. How will she handle his
affairs while he is in Azkaban?) I agree with Fran that I think
Neville may be instrumental in either finding a cure for his parents
or maybe recognizing or identifying a plant/ingredient that may be
having some effect on their present state either positively or
negatively. (residue on the gum wrappers maybe that he discovers by
accident? He spills something else on it that would turn it another
color perhaps, but it doesn't turn one that is "normal" or something
and that makes him curious enough to investigate since he knows his
mom had given him the one that turned... just a thought) Kind of like
the negative drug interactions you get with some medicines. I had
thought that Neville was possibly going to be the one to end up as the
teacher at Hogwarts, but now I think he could go in for a healer. 
Thoughts?
