Neville doesn't lack confidence, all he needed was the desire for proper vengeance
Yes. This bugs me so very much. Neville seems like the kind of kid who, if left alone, would be aware that killing a crazy woman for revenge isn't going to solve his self-esteem issues in a blaze of manly righteousness. Somebody will have to take down Bellatrix, obviously, but I'd rather it wasn't set up to be Neville's Big Rite of Passage. There are John Wayne movies with more advanced morality than that.
I can't wait to see her reaction to Gabrielle (especially if Gabs ends up being starstruck with Harry)-omg there's a little girl cuter than Ginny???
*hopes* With any luck Fleur's mother will show up too. I'd love to see Harry having to deal with the fallout from Ginny being outshone by a whole spectrum of part-Veelas.
