Oh, that didn't surprise me at all. That's been building since "Order of the Phoenix", when he was so keen to join Dumbledore's Army. He wanted to fight those who had so brutally attacked his parents. I'm glad his Gran finally saw him in action, and could be proud of him!
I should have rephrased that better. When I think back to the kid who lacked total self confidence - he’s come a long way. And as much as I liked Mrs. Weasleys part I wished it had been Neville to finish Bellatrix off.

Actually in the Socerer's Stone (Philosopher's Stone) Neville's extra 2 points awarded by Dumbledore, for having the bravery to stand up to his friends was what put them over the top for the House Cup. He has always been steadfast and brave. And the actor in OOTP has grown up to be able to play him still diffident but courageous and kinda cute. He'll really enjoy doing the last HP movie.
I loved when she came in and said something like, "Well, I've got to go help my grandson fight!"
