Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.  What I would really like to see is Neville overcoming his fears and standing up for himself.  I think the only reason he's so clumsy and doesn't have much power is b/c he's afraid of the power due to what happened to his parents and feels so insecure and unsure of himself.  If he would get over his fears and stand up for himself I think that he'd have all he needed to become a great wizard, I think that's why he was put into Gryffindor, he's insecure and afraid now but in the end I think that he'll make everyone proud.
