Anyway, I was rereading PoA, and had a theory pop up.  Why is Snape 
the thing that scares Neville the most?  Is it only due to his 
treatment of Neville at school?  Or is it possible that Snape was the 
DE who performed Cruciatus on the Longbottoms, and Neville has a 
supressed memory of this?  At any rate, why is Snape so hard on 
Neville?
More questions I know we can't answer concretely (yet!), but I humbly 
submit them for your opinions.<<<

Snape was the spy for Dumbledore and if he did do the Cruatius Curse on the Longbottoms Dumbledore would have never forgave him and never gave him a job at the school because Neville was there. In GOF Dumbledore said that Neville goes and sees his parents at the asylum and knows whats going on. Hes just afraid of Snape because who wouldn't be because hes so mean and dark and yes he use to be a death eather before he turned to good side. Neville is just afraid of everything I wouldnt blame him especially living with a horrible mean grandmother as it is.
