Neville's had a hard life. Both parents tortured into insanity then raised by his strict grandmother. Not good at sports or academics. I don't think JK would kill him.

Nope. Neville is going to end up as Herbology professor at Hogworts.

I know people that think that Neville and not Harry will kill Voldemort because deep down Harry isn't a killer and he doesn't want to be like Voldemart. He'll make his own choice. (And, they remind me, Gollum destroyed the ring, not Frodo -- to which I respond, bullsh**! Gollum was trying to steal it and fell into a pit of lava!)

Neville will have his moment to shine. He'll probably stand up to Harry, Ron and Hermione again.
