Fortunate? Or Not.

But poor old Neville is scared of his own grandmother. Fear is incapacitating. Harry deals with his fears. Neville doesn't know how.

But Neville is getting braver too!

I agree. Neville is getting braver but I'd guess he is still 60% scared; 40% brave. He did go into the Department of Mysteries to fight with Harry which was very un-Neville behavior. He gets bonus points for that.

I agree!

Trouble is if Neville is shooting from the hip because he's still afraid, then that will make him trigger-brave. He still needs to connect his brain to his courage otherwise HyperDemon is going to have to dig an extra body-drop.

I love that part about the grandma! *laughs, but goes sober quickly*
Hm. Writing that little part about me gets me wondering. Okay, "sober" is when somebody's not drunk, right? Right. Can one still use it for being serious? I thought you could, but I remember. So maybe I should use "somber" or sombre?" because I most definitely do not drink. I'm a wee bit underage yet, I find it stupid that one would consume something that addles that brain anyway.

But going back to the topic *grins sheepishly* I still think Harry had/s it worse. After all, he has Voldemort and a ton of death eaters wishing him dead, ya know?
Course, wouldn't it be totally wacky, if Voldemort decided Neville was the guy to get, and he was using Harry as a means to get him? I know it dosn't make any sense, but still...

Going back to the topic once again (sorry) Neville's never had to deal with a witch (in every sense of the word) like Professor Umbridge. It definitely upped my respect for Harry when he didn't just Ada Kadav.. I forget how to spell it, but you get my drift, yes? >:)

Umbridge scares me more than Voldemort because she has the righteous Ministry of Magic behind her. They support her narrow-minded cruelty because it is, "good for the students." Also, Voldemort is only one whack-job followed by a bunch of pretzel-twisted egos that don't like each other. Umbridge is only the tip of the ice berg. There are plenty of control freaks where she came from.

And I think it is Avada Kedavra. But I gotta tell you, I need a Harry Potter Spell Checker to.......check my spells, what else.

I totally think that Harry is less fortunate than neville, i mean sure Neville has his parents, and other things, but Harry is being stalked be Voldemort, he wants to KILL him. And Harry has been in a TON of dangerous situations.

Harry has tough assignments but he is equal to the tasks. Neville has easy assignments but he isn't equal to much except gardening.

But I still don't count Neville out. I think the destruction of Voldemort will be a team effort. Just like Gryffindor winning the House Cup, it could be someone like Neville whose 10 points puts the good guys over the top. It could be the magic Stinkypunks that Neville grows that ultimately sets Voldemort up for a fall.

Yeah, maybe, but only #6 and #7 will tell
