A short digression or two. Neville himself says that up until he was 
eight he was thought to be "all Muggle." Not Squib - Muggle. Very 
interesting.
And to add fuel to the fire being fanned by those who consider that any 
representation of 'child abuse' is not amusing and must be condemned 
outright - isn't it time you had a go at Uncle Algy? Remembering of 
course, that if he hadn't persisted in throwing Neville off piers, 
dropping him out of windows and whatever, Neville would probably not 
have got
to Hogwarts.  Shame on me, I laughed my socks off at the image of 
Neville bouncing down the path on his head, but obviously JKR was 
making a serious point and humour was the last thing she intended.
  For sure.

There are those that have suggested ESE!Algy and ESE!Gran, usually in 
an attempt to explain Nevilles shyness, near Squibness and the 
continuing hospitalisation of his parents.

Gina: 
      Didn't someone say that the character Augustus in the US version is
Algernon in the UK version? Could that be uncle algy?
