Susan:

I loved the part in the DH where he draws the sword of Gryfinndor
from the Sorting Hat, and kills Nagini.

Tiffany:

Almost all Potter lovers I know of love it also, myself being one of 
them.
 
zgirnius:

I have always preferred the idea that he is simply forgetful. Not 
everyone is blessed with a great memory! Neville was also never very 
strong academically (except in Herbology, and DADA after he started 
to really put in a lot of work). I think like that about him, he's 
really a lot more of an 'everyman' character than Harry.

Tiffany:

I agree, I think he's more of an average Joe Blow type than Potter. 
Heck when I first read about him I felt more kinship to him than 
Potter.  He wasn't all that bad or good academically, save Herbology 
& a few other non-magical classes.  Neville reminds me more of 
a "working person's hero", but I didn't think he was a great leader 
when compared to others.
