"In any case, they're definitely a wizarding
family. Since Uncle Algie drops Neville out of a window to see if
he'll bounce and buys him a toad, I'm pretty sure he's a wizard, and
Neville's mother was obviously a witch or she wouldn't have been an auror (or in St. Mungo's now)." Carol

Hi everyone my name is Wendy, this is my first post to the list. I had a question aobut Neville's Mom being a Auror. I always assumed that she was but I have been reading the books to my daughter and we have gotten to the fourth book and no one says that she is an Auror, they say that Frank Longbottom is an Auror but not his wife. 

"We have heard evidence against you. The four of you stand accused of capturing an Auror- Frank Longbottom- and subjecting him to the cruciasus curse, believing him to have knowledge of the present whereabouts of your exiled master. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named--" skip a little " You are further accused," bellowed Mr. Crouch "of using the cruciasus curse on Frank Longbottom's wife, when he would not give you information. (pg. 595 GoF American version)  

"Yes, they were talking about Neville's parents," said Dumbledore. "His father, Frank was an Auror just like Professor Moody. He and his wife were tortured for information about Voldemort's whereabouts after he lost his powers, as you heard." (pg. 602 GoF American version)

This is just something that I have been wondering about; wondering if I had missed something or if they do say later that she was an Auror
