I strongly agree. I can't see Neville becoming Wormtail the Second--he'd die first. Which, 
in fact, he may. The only 
time we get any comparison between Peter and Neville is in  a scene where Harry hasn't yet 
learned Pettigrew's true nature.

As for the quote about bravery (" Being brave doesn't mean you don't
have to be afraid."), it reiterates one of my favorite lines from an old John Wayne war 
movie (not my favorite genre, but there you go): "If you're not afraid, it doesn't make you a 
hero. It makes you stupid or dead."

Antosha, who knows (well, not really) that Neville will be the one who brings Bellatrix 
down....
