Longbottoms

In the Harry Potter series there are five known Longbottom's, one of which is Harry's classmate, Neville. Neville is similar to Harry in more ways than one: he's loyal, brave and comes from a family devoted to suppressing the dark arts. Indeed, he and Harry are so similar that Lord Voldemort had to choose between Harry and Neville to be his equal, according to a prophecy. Neville also has the same enemies as Harry, recieving a pretty hard time at the hands of Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle, although he has shown that he can defend himself against them. He is scared to death by Snape, however, as demonstrated when he faced a boggart that took on the teachers form when presenting Nevilles worst fear. He is often forgotten, but that's hardly surprising considering that he has such a lot on his mind. Mrs Longbottom- Frank Longbottom's mother and Neville's grandmother.
