Oh, well said Sandy :) Because Harry exists indeed.

Definitely not mine, LOL, but I do have something to add besides 
agreeing with you, I promise.

Alla:

That's an interesting thing and well spotted that he does not heal 
Neville, but are you sure that he indeed has healing powers or he 
just knows countercurse from the curse he developed?

I would say it is just as possible that he specifically developed 
that one countercurse for the safety purposes in case somebody who 
does not need to will fall in the line of fire, sort of self 
preservation?
