I'm rereading POA and found a description that makes me wonder what PP 
and Neville will be doing in Book 7.

pg.213 Scholastic 

"He watched, as though somebody was playing him a piece of film, Sirius 
Black blasting peter Pettigrew (who resembled Neville Longbottom) into 
a thousand pieces".

Why would JKR put this description in () if it doesn't mean something?  
What does PP have in common with Neville?

If this has been discussed before, I'm sorry but this seems to strange 
for me to forget.
