(Not sure if magical plants are allowed, but...)

I see Neville Longbottom as his favorite plant, Mimbulus mimbletonia. They're both a little odd looking and would get made fun of by the other people/plants. But there's a lot hidden beneath that surface that can be brought out at the right moment. As Neville showed Harry on the train, if you poke the Mimbulus mimbletonia, it has a defense mechanism that shoots disgusting liquid at you. We see at the end of DH that Neville too can fight back when provoked, as he talks about standing up to the Death Eaters acting as professors at Hogwarts, and also refusing to join Voldemort.

I really like your reasoning behind this one! It agrees nicely with why I said, but the way that you used the defense mechanism to parallel his growth in DH was much more powerful than my analogy. Awesome use of the magical plant, too, especially considering that it is his favorite. They say that dog and their owners look alike, so maybe it's like that in this case, haha.

I love that idea! Although I think his defense mechanism is a lot slower than the mimbulus, but it's there nonetheless, and when he's provoked enough, he'll stand up for himself (like he did with Malfoy), or even up to his friends, like at the end of book 1.

I thought of this connection when it was first introduced in the books. It's very fitting that he has this as a plant. Neville also fights back and stands up for what he believes in during Philosopher's Stone. He refuses to let the trio pass and jeopardize their house's points. Basically, the Mimbulus is a BAMF and so is Neville.
