Marie:
I agree with the hope that Neville plays a large role in DH.
Unfortunately Jo's website negated the theory that Neville being the
prophecy's 'also ran' makes him special somehow.  That doesn't mean he
doesn't have a big role to play, though.  I, too, hope it involves
Bellatrix.  Him killing her would be poetic justice and I certainly
want her to die, whether he does the killing or is merely present for
it.  It  would indeed be great if his parents could be cured somehow,
but that may be too sweet/pat of an ending.  :(

The Neville getting the last wand thing is particularly interesting if
coupled with the theory about Ravenclaw's wand being a horcrux and
possibly being the one that was displayed in Ollivander's shop window.
 It may be unlikely that Neville ended up with *that* wand as his, but
stranger things have happened.  He could be the Ravenclaw heir through
his mother or something, which would make that wand choose him.  Even
if he didn't get that wand, he might be able to help Harry, Hermione,
and Ron figure out where Mr. Ollivander went to try to keep the wand
safe.  If, indeed, he went into hiding of his own volition rather than
being kidnapped by Death Eaters or something so he would have to
create Voldemort a wand that doesn't have the potential to lock up
with Harry's.
