He scored the last points, the least number of points - but 
strategically, the most important points. For an action that, at the 
time, seemed well meaning but wrong.

If JKR is following the first book finale for the last book, 
Neville's contribution isn't going to be a spectacular one - merely 
utterly vital. {g}

But following the first book finale is a dangerous idea; the finale 
of the first book reveals that Snape ('Professor Snape, Harry') 
wasn't the real villain. In fact, he was trying to protect Harry all 
along {vbg}
