Hey! Steady on! When have I  ever called anyone an idiot?
(Don't  claim never to  have thought it, mind.)

Supposition based on canon is always welcome on my screen,
whether I agree with it or not - 'cos when someone quotes
canon finding more canon (either supporting or refuting)
is much easier than countering a fog of wishful thinking
masquerading as analysis.

I've never paid much attention to Neville;  maybe I should.
But the theory you propose seems to back my ideas on 
possession, so it'll be of interest no matter if I agree with 
your conclusions or not. And the extract that you quote
as your post header is no more than a throw-away line,
not theory, supposition, conclusion or analysis. I can see 
that I'll have to start adding flags to my posts - *Warning-
joke coming.*

So... let's see your canon.
