>>> This theory is heart wrenching, but sounds pretty solid.  Also, if
Neville ever found out about this (i.e., why his parents were
tortured) it may help explain why he seems to be suffering from a
memory charm.  Maybe Gran went and wiped the slate clean so he
wouldn't blame himself.<<<

Lady Macbeth:
I subscribe to the idea that Neville is under a strong memory charm, but
it's because I'm under the impression that Neville personally SAW them being
tortured.  While he would have admittedly been very young at the time, that
type of thing can leave a residual mental scar on a person.  I'm almost 100%
certain that's why he was affected so badly by seeing the fake Moody put the
spider under the Cruciatus during his lesson.
