Useless Fact: This is the chapter I read first when I got my copy, purely on the basis of the title.

Neville pisses me off because he does nothing to earn anyone's respect, we're just supposed to like him because he follows our heroes around like a slightly brain-damaged lost puppy. He doesn't have a single thought of his own in his head and no real personality beyond "charity case". Why should I care if he's bullied by anyone?

Hah! Embrace the Neville hate!

God Bless You for those links!

Mind you, I actually adored Neville when he was still nebbish and young and bullied and terrified... and yet still brave in the way he dealt with all the everyday dissapointments in his life. He reminded me of another nerd I had the biggest crush on in high school (and yet still didn't hook up with, damn it all.)

Of course, Super OOTP Harrified Neville turned me off because he seemed so contrary to the Neville in past books... though the way Neville treated his mother and stolidly underwent Cruciating in Book 5 still made me kind of... soppy...

I'm going to get lynched for saying this, aren't I? ;)

I don't actually hate Neville. I'm not fond of the way he's written, and I don't think he's Teh Bravest Boy in all the Land, but in a real life situation, I'd rather be around him than a lot of characters.
And even I found the sweet bit kind of sad. Tell no-one!
