Ruth:> I have looked over GoF and OotP, and can't find anywhere 
where Neville's mother's name is given.  Who is she, I wonder?  Why 
is her first name never given?  JKR has never slacked on names, so, 
I'm leaning toward the omission as being deliberate.> 



Here you go:
OoP Bloomsbury (Ch 23, "Christmas on the Closed Ward"), p454:

'They were Aurors, you know, and very well respected in the 
wizarding community,' Mrs Longbottom went on. 'Highly gifted, the 
pair of them. I - yes, Alice dear, what is it?'
Neville's mother had come edging down the ward in her nightdress.

Alice Longbottom, Auror. She doesn't get a name or a career in GoF, 
although hubby does.
