When I was trying to find some other information by flipping through the book, I found something on Neville seeing the thestrals. I know that this has been a constant in the posts, and I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but I know who Nevi saw died... 

    "You and see the thestrals, Longbottom, can you?" she said. (Umbridge)
    Neville nodded
    "Whom did you see die?" she asked, her tone indifferent. 
    "My... my grandad," said Neville. 
            (Us edition, pg 449)

Now this is interesting. We all know that Neville has lived with his gran, and Great Uncle Algie has been mentioned along with his Great Aunt...buut never his grandfather. Now I wonder... Neville's parents have been tortured into insanity by *Voldemort*, could Neville see Voldemort or his death eaters killing his grandfather? And JKR never does anything for no reason... 

  What do you think?
