Thank you, I lost that. It simplifies things.

I got a lot of questions but little answers.

 thinking if Neville was a Gryffindor that the hat thought about
 placing in Hufflepuff and if Harry was a Gryffindor that the hat

 placing in Ravenclaw?>>

I promise one day I will try to think about all the groups we have so far, as 
thestral seers, brothers, marked, veil-hearing, but right now I'm still 
overhelmed with new details.

Complex, isn't it? Neville is more than meets the eye. I'd like to know if 
another detail has been discussed. We know the constant references to 
Mimbulus Mimbletonia. Given there is a phrase I wish I could locate in the 
book as the plant being assyrian (or sirian), is it a reference to the book 
about mediterranean plants he was given in GoF?
