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.
