When آپ started reading the کتابیں یا started watching the movies,did آپ honestly think that he would trun out to be a true Gryffindor?

Actually no, i thought he was مزید hufflepuff material, but as u say he showed a lot of courage in the last few کتابیں and movies, i guess the hat saw his courage through his other traits, but there always someone who doesnt belong at first i think thats what JK Rowling was دکھانا us, theres a lot of life lessons in her کتابیں thats why they are so good :)

Even سے طرف کی the end of the first book, there is a clue that Neville does have hidden courage. He stands up to his دوستوں and peers, which Dumbledore says takes as much courage as standing up to enemies. It seemed obvious to me that Neville would grow into his courage مزید clearly as the series progressed.
