2) She did say Neville and Luna together would have been cute, but
she also stated right away that that never happened as Luna went off
to travel around the wourld and finally married a Scamander, while
Neville stayed at Hogwarts to teach Herbology and eventually married
Hannah Abbot, landlady of the Leaky Cauldron after Tom (how that
relationship worked out it's a mistery to me, since one would have to
live up north nine months a year and the other was stuck in London...
still, many relationships work precisely because of such dynamics).
Unlike muggles, Neville can travel to London in seconds.
That's an excellent point! In theory, Neville could sleep with Hannah
every night. Heck, he could go home for lunch!!
Unless he's Head of his House, because he would need to sleep there to
watch the students.

And, if he started workign after McGonagall retired, then he might be
teh Transfigurations Teacher and Head of House of Gryffindor :D Go,
Neville!

Yeah, but Hannah's not going to like that!!

We don't care about Hannah! (sorry, Neville, but you should have married
Luna for us to care)

LOL Yeah, he really should have . . .

Neville working in a store in Diagon Alley?? Where did you ever read
that up? Neville's career is actually the only one mentioned in canon,
so there's hardly no doubt about it (unless, again, he worked in
Diagon Alley for a while before becoming a teacher).
She said "people would find the fact of Neville's living over a pub
particularly cool." Of course, we don't know what career he chose, in
the Potterverse, you don't need to be a teacher to teach in Hogwarts.
That I don't understand. We do know what career Neville chose; he
became a Hogwarts teacher.
I mean that there is no Wizard University where you graduate as a
teacher. For example, he could have been an Herbologist and later was
asked to teach Herbology. Harry was an auror but he still teaches
eventually. So, he might teach but surely he did some other staff first
because he was very young.

Gotcha! And in the story of Tom Riddle there is good canonical
indication that students are rarely if ever made teachers immediately
after their seventh year. Which would be a sensible policy.

Snape was also very young but he would be an exception because he needed
to be protected. Lupin was also relatively very young, 34.

This reminds me of a point I've wondered about. When the trio first
notices the sleeping Lupin on the Hogwarts Express in PoA, Hermione
knows his name because it says "Professor J.R. Lupin" on his battered
valise. Does that mean he was a professor somewhere else before DD
brought him back to teach at Hogwarts?
