In my reading, I have not come across any concrete instances showing Neville was a great student, and yet I have not seen any references to him failing a course or even a grade.  Could the administration at Hogwarts be passing him for reasons beyond his academic performance? Perhaps they are aware of some potential that he has, as yet untapped? Perhaps they are aware of some strength he has that he's not aware of?
I'm curious to see what others think of this.
Thanks,

I don't think he's getting a free ride.  Neville isn't a good student but he's not totally stupid (just highly foregetfull and mistake prone).  There is always somebody who passes at the bottom of the class.  And there is a class Neville gets very high marks in.  His "specialty" is definitely agricultural.  He's one of the best students, or so it has been implied in one of the books with plants!
