DeeDee here:
It may well be that Neville's toad is an animagus.
But most likely, IMHO, the prime candidate would be his "Uncle Algie"
or even his Grandma...
Hence, this is why trevor is always "missing"...(lost)..uncle Algie
exploring....Grandma thinking to herself "okay he's here now under
DD's and Hogwarts protection."
Perhaps Neville knows this now and this is why in book five he has
his "cactus/plant" and is more caring about that than being
particularly worried about Trevor.
Neville seldom if ever, "tells", perhaps his family, like many
posters here are just as concerned for his protection. Because
whether or not Harry/Neville is the ONE...If we, as readers suddenly
jump to the conclusion that the ONE is Neville the we may assume
Volemort will too. Is this why Snape is so angry with Neville all the
time...because he steered Voldemort the Potter way (given past
history) rather than Neville's way?!???
And I don't care what anyone says, I'm still leaning towards Lilly
being a wayward decendant of Slytherin...hence the "get out of the
way silly girl"...and why Volde went after Harry first---mark as an
equal thing---Voldemort went after the "most equal" first.
Neville needs protection...he still can be "marked as an equal"..
