Yb:
Ahhh, yes, Neville has scars, but they are from the Death Eaters,
*not* from Voldy. Voldemort did not torture the Longbottoms, Trixie
and co did. That's one of my main arguments against Neville. As for
those clues, well, some of us aren't really brave enough to
speculate... It could be Jo setting us up for something. As much as
I love Neville, as much as he needs a big moment, I still hold that
Harry is "The One." Perhaps Neville will fill in for Harry at a big
confrontation with Voldy, maybe to confuse the bad guy? (Think an
attack on Sauron's main gates while Frodo take scare of the ring,
LOTR style.)
