Yes, Snape does threaten to do many things. Most of which I find very 
funny.

That's just it. Neville doesn't quite understand what he has seen. 
Yet. All Neville knows is that there is something familiar about 
Snape. It doesn't help that Snape is awful to Neville and thus 
Neville only thinks of Snape in a negative light. Then again, why is 
Snape so hard on Neville and Harry. IMHO it has to do with the 
prophecy. Both boys better be ready.

Neville does seem quite a bit interested in how to properly use 
garlic in PoA. What makes me think Neville suspects also? Don't ever 
underestimate Neville.

~~~'Brilliant, you can help me!/ said Neville, his round face 
anxious. 'I don't understand that thing about the garlic at all - do 
they have to eat it, or - '
Neville broke off with a small gasp, looking over Harry's shoulder. 
It was Snape. Neville took a quick step behind Harry.~~~
