Hello Everyone,

Although I've been reading these messages for a few weeks this is my 
first post.  I know this topic has been addressed and I've enjoyed 
reading the theories and questions people have about Neville's family 
because I'm sure that there will be some pivotal information that 
will come out regarding this group.  

But I was recently re-reading POA and noticed a couple of possible interesting things regarding Neville that I overlooked first time around.  Firstly, when Harry was boarding the Knight Bus and was asked his name by Stan he very quickly replied "Neville Longbottom".  In hindsight, I thought that this could have been JKR's forshadowing of the prophecy, which was still, at that time, two books away.  After all, there are many names that Harry could have chosen - it seemed important somehow that he did choose Neville's.  

Also, later in the book, when Harry is in his first divination class and Trelawney is making some of those seemingly insignificant predictions, one of them is to Neville when she asks him if his grandmother is well.  Neville replies that he thinks so, and then Trelawney says that he shouldn't be so sure about that.  There seems to be more to Neville's Gran than meets the eye.

Any thoughts on this?
