Interesting update, I'm somewhat surprised that Snape went after Neville rather than some imagined slight committed by Harry, but I guess Harry was doing so well that even Snape couldn't misinterpret any of his actions.
Looking forward to more.

Well, Snape wanted to go after Harry, but, Neville caught his attention, and set him off.
Thanks for the review, and I'm working on the next chapter now.
