led him to attack the Potters instead of the Longbottoms.  In 
hindsight, I thought that it was very appropriate that it was Harry 
and Neville battling the Death Eaters while everyone else was 
injured, instead of it being between the Death Eaters, Harry, Ron, 
and Hermione (no offense to those two characters).

So now what? Do you think Hermione will start to play less of a role 
now as well? Ron was practically non-existent in ths book, he's 
become more of a "supporting character" He had about as much page 
time as Ginny, Neville, the twins, and Luna (Luna! of all people!). 

With Neville becoming more and more prominent, will the Trio fall 
apart? Or will Ron be replaced?
