Oh Harry, you lie so much. You love the sensation of standing in a very bright spotlight. That's why you never ask anyone for help when you're off on an adventure. That's why you were after that Prefecting position. That's why you're delighted about being Quidditch captain. That's why you'd have been pissed off about having to share the prophecy with Neville, and are glad that he doesn't matter after all. If you lost all this, you'd be absolutely devastated. So stop complaining.
Harry's condescending little rumination concerning Neville and the Prophecy really worked my nerve. All that "Would Neville's mother have died to save him???" crap, as if Lily is THE ONLY MUM who ever gave a shit about her kid. And why should Alice love Neville less just because she (barely!) survived and Lily didn't?
There's a Love=Death equation happening here that's a bit fucked-up; if someone loves Harry they should be prepared to die for him, like Lily and (in a sense) Sirius did. Megalomania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalomania)'s a bitch, eh Potter?
Speaking of dying...Neville's new wand is not only one of the last wands Ollivander sold, but it has a unicorn hair at its core. Didn't Cedric Diggory's wand also have a unicorn hair inside it? Oh dear...
