I must say that I feel terribly vindicated over this. I was one of the people 
to have postulated that Neville might have also come to Hogwarts with a 
"legacy" wand. (Months ago, and no one wanted to comment on it, so it would take 
way too much sifting through backposts to find it.) I would imagine that he 
might show significant improvement in Charms and Transfiguration next year. (Not 
in Potions, however, given that you have to focus wandlessly in that class.)

>>We have also learned that Hufflepuff is indeed the 'default house',<<

Oh have we? Have we *really*? Well, if so, I just lost a great deal of 
respect for Rowling right there. There is no need for a "default" house.
