I have not spent a great deal of time in Theory Bay but I do love 
this one.  Personally I think Neville could use Dumbledore's pensieve 
in a BIG way....what if he was able to pull the memories out for all 
to see, perhaps in potions?  The only greater justice I can imagine 
is for the thing that finally breaks through into Neville's memories 
is the LAST time his grandmother says "he hasn't got his father's 
talent" (OotP pg. 512 American Edition).  

Neville has a story and JKR is keeping it hidden for some reason, 
probably because it's a barn burner.  It would make it even better if 
it was connected to Snape's story!
