task in his own bedroom, but, as Bart, Jr. points out, Harry was too 
arrogant to ask for assistance from others.  (And maybe too arrogant 
to ask for the help of a near-Squib like Neville?)

This was not the original intent of the thread, but I would like to 
discuss the "too arrogant to ask Neville" possibility.  I do not 
think arrogance was a factor when no one asked Neville.  Harry didn't 
ask everyone for help, as was suggested somewhere-["I'd be asking 
everyone I knew for help"] (I know that's not totally accurate-sorry 
no canon at the moment).  He only asked (correct me if I'm wrong) HR 
and Sirius.  Any other help with the tasks was offered freely.  He 
wouldn't think to ask Neville for help, because he never has before.  

Leah, who should REALLY be working right now ;-)
