Yes, he did.  It's page 140 of my Bloomsbury paperback edition: 

'It has nothing to do with weakness,' said Professor Lupin sharply, 
as though he had read Harry's mind.  'The Dementors affect you worse 
than the others because there are horrors in your past that the 
others don't have.'  


It's not until GoF that we learn that Neville's parents are 
incapacitated--maybe he didn't witness the attack on them as Harry 
did?  (The unconscious remembers a *lot*, even if we don't think it 
does.)

We haven't seen it yet--going to wait 'til the crowds thin a bit.  
But from all I've heard and seen, I'm *really* encouraged!
