There is a reason for Neville to be at the Ministry of Magic Battle;
that reason is to show the transition of Neville from who we thought
he was into who he is destine to be.

Neville was the only one who was in the fight from beginning to end.
He was the only one who time and time again charge from safety
(relatively speaking) into the thick of battle to fight at Harry's
side. And indeed, through direct actions and provoking reactions,
saved Harry's life more than once (in my opinion). He showed us that
he, Neville, despite his mild timid manner, does not fear pain,
injury, or even death if the cause is worthy enough.

In a sense, Neville as a character is being reborn, and we were there
to witness that labor; in the next book, I am certain that the
character Neville will take on a whole new life and significants.

I also agree that Neville is still, and always was, very very much a
part of the prophecy; a part of it in ways that will ultimately leave
us stunned, entertained, but stunned none the less.

Just a thought from a Neville fan.
