Question: Now that we know that Neville was a possibility to be the 
one prophesied to destroy V, was his parents killed trying to protect 
him?  Was his magical ability masked by some spell to look non -
threatening so that he would be safe? We see in the fight at the MOM 
that he was a formidable ally to Harry when everyone else was 
neutralized.  Thoughts?
