Has Anyone Seen Neville? Luna on Occasion?

I have finally finished reading HBP, and overall I enjoyed it.  I 
actually cried when Dumbledore died.  I think this book was even more 
of cliffhanger than GOF.  

However, I found myself asking "where is Neville?"  a quarter of the 
way, halfway, and three quarters of the way through the book, and then 
finally found him in the last few chapters.  I was very disappointed 
that JKR sort of forgot about him in the book.  Especially after his 
brilliant character development in OOTP.  I am hoping that the 
information we found out about him in OOTP, was given to us for a 
reason, and he will shine once again in book 7.  

I felt poor Luna was sort of snubbed also, but I really enjoyed her as 
commentator for the Quidditch match.  I wonder if JKR put that in to 
make her a more likeable character by giving her a comedic side?  I 
liked her from her first scene in OOTP.
