Also Neville probably grew up hearing from his Gran about his
parents' great sacrifice for the good side and the evils of the DE's
who did it, and seeing his parents on a regular basis.  That would be
pretty terrifying for a child.  Harry didn't find out the truth until
he was 11 and then it came wrapped in a whole lot of new information
about being a wizard, etc.
