MercuryBlue:
Neville's parents would be better off dead, so I don't think they 
count anymore.

And about Neville's grandmother...I'll accept that Neville may be a 
descendant of Godric Gryffindor, but it doesn't necessarily follow 
that Frank is so as well. It could as easily be Alice who's Godric's 
many-greats-granddaughter. And if it is Alice, not Frank, then 
Neville's gran (and her various siblings, whatever their names are) 
isn't in this equation at all.
