Wow. Okay. It took me ALL DAY to get caught up. Sheesh! And by the 
time I finish this there's liable to be about twenty  more posts up, 
but oh well...

Also spoilers for <i>Patch Adams,</i> if you haven't seen it.

* Neville - Hate to say this, everyone, but I think Neville's going 
to go bad. He's even got it in his name! (Can't escape your name-
destiny, yanno.) And there's the parallel between HRHN and MWPP... 
Neville's the afterthought, the incompetent one, the one who's 
consistently told that he's not nearly as good as his parents were. I 
see Harry following in his father's footsteps as the leader, Ron 
being the instigator like Sirius, Hermione providing Lupin's voice of 
reason, and Neville... well, there's only one guy left. Remember how 
the Sorting Hat took a long time with him? Bet Slytherin was an 
option along with Hufflepuff.

Me:
That's the very reason why I'm positive Neville WON'T go bad. Even though there's a very uncanny parallel between the two groups, they don't have the be the same, because of /choices/, the theme flung at us over and over.
