I really can't imagine Neville betraying Harry.  He kept his DA coin 
for a whole year while the group didn't even meet.  I think Neville 
has a very noble spirit, keen to live up to his picky grandmother's 
expectations.  I think if he had the chance, he'd die for Harry or 
the cause...he understands how important Harry is...probably from 
listening to his grandmother.

As to the wand thing...I dug this up on the 'net.  It says flower and 
tree meanings, so who knows.  JK has traditionally gone with the 
celtic system, but I looked and nowhere does it talk about cherry.  
So, that is very unique in and of itself.  Maybe Ollivander doesn't 
use this type of wood anymore?  I had read another post suggesting 
that the wand in Ollivander's shop on a pillow (from SS) was 
Ravenclaws and that was the last horcrux.  What if Ollivander sold 
this particular wand to Neville?  It would be strange that 
Ravenclaw's wand would choose Neville, but interesting.  Maybe 
Ollivander knew that the DE were coming for him and he decided to get 
rid of one of the more powerful wands in his store?  Anyway, here's 
the link to the flower meanings.

It is interesting to note that it does say that white cherry means 
deception.  But the other meaning is "good education."  This seems to 
interesting to ignore.

Oh, and about Charlie having a unicorn hair wand originally and Ron 
having a new one now, I'm pretty sure that Charlie is the only one 
that Mrs. Weasly's boggart DOESN'T turn into.  She doesn't fear him 
dying?  Why not?  Does this mean maybe Charlie's death hasn't even 
crossed her mind?  Is JK giving us a hint?  We don't know what kind 
of wand Charlie currently has, but what if it is still unicorn hair?  
That may fit with your theories.

Ok, that's it from me.  It's truly intriguing to talk about these 
books in this way.
