The torture of his parents shocked people because it happened after
Voldemort disappeared and people started to feel safe again. So
Neville must have been older than Harry was when his parents were
murdered, perhaps several years older. He could remember it, or he
could if his memory wasn't so bad. His grandfather might have been
killed to induce his parents to talk if torture wasn't working.
Perhaps the reason Neville's memory is bad is that there are some
things he doesn't want to remember.
