IMO, Neville was placed in the scene so he could
pass on the information of Harry's reaction to
the Dementors to Draco and Co. If Neville hadn't
told Draco, no one other than the Trio, Ginny and
Lupin would have known how Harry was affected
until the first Quidditch game and I don't see
any of them talking to Draco. It also tells us
that Neville is willing to tell Draco things
about Harry. I've always found it interesting
that Neville would do this.


Jaimee:

I know there is no canon to support this, but I always assumed Draco 
OVERHEARD Neville talking about Harry's reaction to the dementors. 

In the text, Draco says, "You fainted, Potter? Is Longbottom telling 
the truth? You actually fainted?" 

It doesn't EXACTLY say Nevilled told Draco personally. I mean...could 
you really see them having a amiable conversation? Does Draco ever 
say anything to Neville that isn't in some form of ridicule? I always 
pictured Neville making his way to the carriages with Seamus and 
Dean...or maybe Parvati and Lavender...and being like "What did you 
think of those Dementors? Freaky, huh? They even made Harry pass out--
as brave as he is about everything! Can you believe that?"

And Draco just happened to be nearby...of course....

But that's just my 2 knuts :-D
