Carol:
Exactly. *Without thinking about it.* He's fine when he doesn't have
time to become self-conscious and think "I can't." Rather like Ron,
who's a very good keeper when he trusts his instincts and turns off
his conscious mind.

I don't think Neville will play Quidditch for Hogwarts, much less for
England, but I do think that he'll become less clumsy and forgetful
when he stops thinking of himself in those terms. Success breeds
success--unless you think about it too much and assume that you can't
repeat a good performance.
