Cassy:

The scene in the movie, where Barty specifically
called Neville forward to make him watch Cruciatos's
effect on spider more closely, can be interpreted that
way, I think. Barty definitely enjoys himself here
and, knowing Neville's background, he must realise
that Neville would be really bothered by the sight. As
for the book, I believe that there Barty didn't pay
much attention to the audience during the
demonstration and the failure to notice Neville's
negative reaction mught be just carelessness on his
part, not malice, a mistake that could have been made
even by a well-meaning teacher. After all, only
Hermione looked at Neville and not on the spider that
moment. I can be mistaken though, since I read GoF
quite a while ago.
