petty, mean and spiteful person. Other teachers may not treat Neville 
with kid gloves but none of them was his bogart either. This kid had 
parents who were tortured to death by Death Eaters and his biggest 
fear is Snape, seems kind of telling to me.

As someone else pointed out awhile back, Neville may have been 
choosing to face up to a fear which he could handle in making Snape 
his boggart. Maybe having to deal with his parents' torture and 
insanity at that stage in his life would have unhinged him completely.
