Hi -

This is completely unrelated to my previous post but I've been eager to post 
this.  I hope it hasn't been discussed to death, but I know this list and it 
probably has.

In PoA, when Harry gets on the Knight Bus and Stan Shunpike asks for his 
name, the first one that came to mind was Neville Longbottom.  I found that 
really interesting, after having read OoP, and knowing that there's a real 
connection between Harry and Neville.

Maybe the connection between the two boys is stronger than what we've 
seen already, especially since Neville's name, of all the names Harry could 
have chosen, jumped into Harry's head at such a random time.  I'm hoping 
we'll find out more about that prophecy and that it was no coincidence that 
Neville was the last one standing (well, trying to stand) with Harry at the MoM 
in OoP.

I know Neville will never be as strong as Harry, but I'd like to see him come 
even more into his own.  I enjoyed seeing that in OoP, because before that, I 
was not a Neville fan.

When it comes to Harry, however, I've adored him since we met him in SS.
