Marianne S:

Is there any evidence that Neville is invited to the Slug Club after 
the initial train ride? IHarry seemed to think that Slughorn was reserving 
judgement on Neville when on the train, and I don't recall Neville's 
name ever coming up in conjunction with Slughorn at any future time. 
He wasn't one of his potions students, either. It seemed to me that
not all the students who received the initial invites remained 
"in the club" and Hermione was the only one I noticed being added
later because of Merit, not just connections.
