My reply:

I think that Alice is trying to give Neville a message, and is a 
message that she has tried to deliver for a while, judging by this 
passage:

"Well, we'd better get back,' sighed Mrs Longbottom, drawing on long 
green gloves. 'Very nice to have met you all. Neville, put that 
wrapper in the bin, she must have given you enough of them to paper 
your bedroom by now.'

But as they left, Harry was sure he saw Neville slip the sweet 
wrapper into his pocket."

I think Alice, or what remains from her brain, is using the wrappers 
to warn Neville of an impending danger, or maybe trying to wake the 
memories that have been tampered in him (I'm a firm believer in the 
theory that Neville has had quite a few powerful memory charms 
performed on him).

Whatever it is, I don't think we've seen the last of the gum wrappers.
