Me:

I also hope Neville with his Herbology knowledge will find a cure for 
his parents. But I can't really understand why you want Rowling to 
have him torture and kill Bellatrix... Can you really see Neville 
doing such a thing? What makes the "good" guys different from 
the "bad" guys is their CHOICES and what they DO. What makes 
Dumbledore different from Voldemort is that he is not willing to use 
any means to get what he wants. Because he's got integrity and 
principles. Dumbledore chooses not to use his powers in certain 
ways... If Neville is on the good side like him, he will not torture 
anyone just to satisfy his need for revenge. That's not the way good 
guys operate :-) Just my two knuts.

That's also the reason I got worried when Harry tried to "torture" 
Bellatrix in the MoM. Harry needs to be careful and think through if 
he really wants his hatred to control him like that. If he doesn't, 
he might end up as Voldemort II...
