AmanitaMuscaria again - Thinking about it further, there's that great 
catch Neville makes when Harry throws him the prophecy sphere in 
OoTP - maybe it's keeper or seeker after all? I could never work that 
out; he's been clumsy all the way through, then all of a sudden, with 
a broken nose (which affects your bifocal vision) he does a great 
catch without thinking about it.
Hmmmm.
