JKR said that one of the classmates of Harry excluding the trio would 
come back to become a professor at Hogwarts when they graduated. To 
me the perfect one for this would be Neville who would come in to be 
the Herbology professor. All throughout the books but especially in 
book 4 it says how Neville is really good at Herbology and 
considering that he is really not all that gifted in other magical 
endeavours the fact that he would come back at a professor would make 
sense. As a professor you really don't have to know much except for 
the subject that you are teaching, in which case Neville would be an 
ideal candidate and he has the most canon supoort for this. 

Another thing is that is it possible that Neville could become a 
prefect? Before you start laughing listen to my reasoning behind 
this, there is clearly quite a few prefects around the school at 
least 8 if you say 2 from each house, what if they were based upon a 
teacher recomendation- could this perhaps be that Professor Sprout 
would reccomend Neville for this. It seems a little out there and 
quite far-fetched but it is entirely possible. 

I also believe that Neville is going to become more of an assest as 
the books progress, Neville was just *accidently* placed in 
Gryffindor. So far going stricly by the books it would seem that 
Neville was better suited for Hufflepuff because he seems very loyal, 
and true...Neville doesn't exactly seem like he would tell a lie to 
me. Thus- there must be something probably in these up coming books 
that will proves his bravery. I just hope he doesn't prove it by 
sacrifcing him self.
