I could have sworn there was some discussion on this topic before 
but can't find it (get lost in libraries too).

When I first read GoF I also thought it was just being affected by 
Moody's lesson. But after the third read (or so) one has to note 
that "Moody" is in fact BC2 and that does give pause.

pause.

On the other hand, BC2 is one excellent actor to pull off the Moody 
thing for a whole school year, not to mention that polyjuice is not 
the tastiest concoction to be taking 24 times a day throughout that 
duration!

But back to Neville: I have suspected that there will be a link to 
Neville's being awake at the end of chapter 14 in future books. 
Whether for good or evil is hard to say.
