Neville Theory

[Tricia]

	So this one is a little bit out there, but the idea came to 
me not that long ago and the more I think about it the more I see it 
as a valid possibility (but I'm not putting money on it by any 
means). Here it goes anyway: Neville could maybe possibly likely be 
a horcrux.

	Neville shows definite signs of having had a major memory 
modification charm placed on him and both his parents were attacked 
until they lost their minds. Maybe LV really just wanted to kill the 
Potters but he thought Neville the real threat and therefore made 
him a horcrux. This would also lead to a very beautiful heroic end. 
Harry is forced to kill one of his friends and Neville so long made 
fun of is forced to sacrifice himself and becomes a kind of ultimate 
hero. JKR has been grooming Neville to do something extravagant and 
I always thought that the books would somehow cover the loss of his 
life, but this makes some semblance of sense.

	I'm still much more swayed by the Harry as a Horcrux 
argument. This also has it merits. It allows me to pretend that 
Harry may live past the end of the series (although it would 
probably better suit JKR to kill him off, thus ending many please 
for an eighth installment). It also would make a statement to all 
the kids who read the books – the loser can sometimes be the bravest 
of all. 

	If anyone can gather more info in favor of or making this 
theory impossible, please post it. I'm kind of encouraged but unsure 
of this newest horcrux thought.
