       [grin] Well, I don't think Neville is necessarily all that saintly and 
yes, I suspect that any resemblance would unnerve him. I almost hope that 
there is a 'good' Lestrange child who will try to link up with them. It would 
definitely fit with JKR's choices theme. After all, such a theoretical child 
would have been raised by others who may well have hated what B&R did. In fact, 
except for Draco & chronies, we have no evidence that any of the DE kids do 
share their parent's allegiance.  Even T. Nott may not be a junior DE. His 
reaction to Harry's identifying his dad as a DE could have been one of indignation at 
the accusation.
