Jade:
Has anyone considered that the reason Neville had been doing so
poorly in school is because the wand he was using was his dad's
and not one picked for him?
  His one class he excels in is Herbology which doesn't require
a wand.
  Now that he has his own wand I think we can expect better of
him.
