GEO: Considering that Neville's father was an auror that could be 
very possible. Of course one wonders who is going to be more 
disturbed by the situation: Snape upon realization that he has to be 
stuck with his two "favorite" pupils for another two years or Harry 
and Neville having to go through two more years of mental torture..

GEO: Good point there. Snape might indeed venture into DA territory 
if he was to take the position of DADA and fall again into darkness.

GEO: Very unlikely. He needs the potions class to become an auror. 
Though I doubt he will become an auror or at least be a servant of 
the ministry, I'm pretty sure he'll in the end have the 
qualifications for the job considering Rowling's comments about his 
possible future post-Hogwarts.
