Yes, far too little IMO. Did you notice, however, that the mimble 
mumble got an honourable mention? It's still on the table so to 
speak.

I would be severly disappointed if Neville turned out simply to be 
an also ran.

I like the idea that Voldy wanted to turn Prophecy Boy into an 
acolyte.

Firstly he tried to spawn one of his own using Cissy and Lucy. That 
failed, conception being tricky to time, and Draccy was born in 
June, oops.

Then he viewed his remaining options (Neville/Harry) and decided to 
off one and abduct the other, bring him up as his own *and* turn him 
into a bad tempered nag (cross horse! Sorry!). With prophecy boy 
close at hand, Voldy could control him and if that failed prophecy 
boy could only defeat Voldy by suiciding first, so then couldn't 
defeat him. Game, set, match.

Sadly, I think for JKR, Harry is the chosen one and there are no 
such plans for Neville, so in a last ditch to salvage my own plot 
I've decided someone will *believe* Neville is a poorclutz when in 
fact it is his wand, or maybe the mimblewimble.
