How would it happen? Is Neville going to take Potions Newt (because 
it's needed to become a Healer or whatever job he wants) and flame at 
Snape about scaring him so that he can't concentrate? (Since he could 
do well without Snape there?)

Or is Neville going to save Snape's life by his knowledge of 
Herbology?

And um - learning to deal with emotions - it is going to be important 
to Harry. Will it be important to Neville, too? <<


Kethryn now -

Wild theory time because the scene just popped into my head.  Neville isn't going to confront Snape or save his life or anything like that.  Nope, I think Neville will actually (physically) push Snape aside to get to Bellatrix and Snape will let him go, giving him a nod of grudging respect for being willing to stand up to a piece of trash like that.  That could be one hell of an intense scene but one that begs the questions; does Neville kill Bellatrix, stop himself from killing her, or someone else stop him from killing her?  And if Snape stops Neville, the grudging respect that was blossoming between them would die a quick and painful death.

I also think that Snape's students will have an easier time of it this year...I think he is going to be rather distracted.
