When 당신 started 읽기 the 책 또는 started watching the movies,did 당신 honestly think that he would trun out to be a true Gryffindor?

Actually no, i thought he was 더 많이 hufflepuff material, but as u say he showed a lot of courage in the last few 책 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 showing us, theres a lot of life lessons in her 책 thats why they are so good :)

Even 의해 the end of the first book, there is a clue that Neville does have hidden courage. He stands up to his 프렌즈 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 더 많이 clearly as the series progressed.
