Besides catching the prophecy orb in the MoM, there's 
Imperius'd Neville's amazing display of acrobatic ability in GoF, 
and his ability to get his broomstick airborne in Book One 
despite having never been on a broom before. 

His lack of control parallels his lack of control in potions class. 
Plenty of people botch potions but nobody else blows up their 
cauldron. I'd guess that Neville's flying abilities, like Neville's 
potions, are plenty powerful. All he needs to do is develop some 
confidence.

who votes beater, on account of Neville's courage and his build
