(Who rather reminds me of Button-Bright.

Me: 
I went to the site that the personaltiy sorter is on, and found that 
i am a Ravenclaw (which I more or less knew) ie, a rational 
mastermind (no, i'm not just being big-headed, that's what it said, 
honestly.! lol) I think Neville will prove worthy of his Gryffindor 
name - and that the sorting hat may be able to predict how a person 
will turn out, or see through a memory charm (yes, I'm in that 
camp.) Bravery does not have to be demonstrative courage, it can be 
coping with a situation with calm and god grace. It seems that 
Neville has shown little bravery so far, though I am expecting the 
memory charm to be broken (though not by Sanpe's teaching methods!) 
and that we will seee this type of bravery in his dealing with what 
he comes to remember. 

I would be disappointed in JK Rowlng if Nevillle was destined to 
remain the fat kid who's good for a cheap laugh because he's inept. 
(I also hope Seamus develops beyond this characterisation, though am 
not so hopeful for him). It was noted (though I think this was 
exaggerated by the casting for the films)that the stupid or thuggish 
children are depicted as physically fat and no-one else is. Crabbe 
and Goyle are included, for Slytherin plus the 2 I've mentioned. 
It is n't a big deal but still, anyone else a bit annoyed by this?
