I agree, I don't want to see a Snape-Lily connection.  My thought for 
OOP is that Harry and Neville visit Neville's parents in St. 
Mungo's.  (Quite a few of us predict this action).  However, I feel 
that the Longbottom's problem might be solved because it definitely 
has something to do with Neville's memory.  Off base, I was reading 
one of the books of the Vampire series written by Brian Lumley.  One 
of the main characters has his mind occupied with that of a vampire. 
To help him thwart, the good guy puts this vampire essence in a 
separate place in his brain and basically shuts the door on him until 
this evil essence is needed.  This part of the book made me think 
about Neville. Neville saw his parents turned into "vegetables" by 
LV.  Is is possible that they transferred their essence to Neville 
and Neville doesn't remember? Could it be that when Harry and Neville 
visit, it will come back to him and his parents restored to fight 
with the order againt LV.

That's my prediction.
