One of Harry's fourth-year Gryffindor classmates. Neville is kind, though he's generally considered to be a hopeless student: he's often the only one assigned extra homework, and Potions is his worst subject. This is because he's deathly afraid of Snape, the potions master. However, Neville is well aware of what he doesn't know. Harry is surprised when Neville raises his hand in Moody's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class about the Unforgivable Curses and names the Cruciatus Curse. Seeing Moody perform the Cruciatus Curse on a spider has an awful effect on Neville; he becomes anxious and unable to hold a conversation. Harry learns later that this is because Neville has personal experience with the Cruciatus Curse: after Voldemort's fall, Death Eaters tortured Neville's parents with the curse until they went insane. They now live in St. Mungo's Hospital and don't recognize Neville.
