Clearly Neville's grandfather died before he started Hogwarts...what I would 
really like to know is how on earth did Ginny see it, when Ron didn't, who 
has she seen die? My sister said she saw Tom Riddle die, but I have to 
disagree, because number one Tom was a memory and number two Ginny was 
unconcious on the floor...I am very intrigued by this....I want to know who 
she saw die...If she did see someone die, it would of been when Ron started 
Hogwarts leaving just herself and parents in the house

Anyone got any ideas?
