I only meant that they are, in general, weak characters, following other
people's lead, (Pettigrew following James and Sirius, and Neville following
Harry and Ron.) Both are also not very talented in the arts, but surrond
themselves with those that are.

*HOWEVER, *I will concede that Neville stands up for himself when it is
needed most, such as when he, in the Sorcerer's Stone, refused to allow
Harry, Ron, and Hermione out of the dormitory at night without a fight. It
is those moments that differ him from Pettigrew, which make all the
difference.

In short, after thinking it over further, I take back my previous statement.
