I do believe Neville will play an important role in the future books. 
... because it's mentioned he is good at herbology. It has to mean
something...

Paula now:
Yes, I agree with both of these points.  Neville's talent in Herbology
HAS to be significant because he's such a failure at everything else.  
And of course a decent fellow like Neville wouldn't stoop to the level
of the DE's.  But really, somebody's got to put an end to the evil. 
I've always had an image of Neville cooking up something and maybe with
a little help in trickery  from Hermione putting the DE's out of
commission once and for all!

Angel:
I'm not so sure he won't get an 'O' on DADA either, given the DA work. I
have this chess theory (that came out of Lycoris' work on LJ) which I
shall post later on this week. Basically it works on the principle that
LV decided which of Harry and Neville should be Bishop and Pawn,
neglecting that after 7 moves (books) pawns can become queens. Neville
is moving onto the sixth square, and may take out a major piece in order
to prove he really is a queen...
(The rudiments are on my LJ angelofthenorth.livejournal.com and it
begins in the chess game in PS)
