Oh, Neville, absolutely! I can see why Slughorn didn't pick him - Neville is shy and quiet and other than his well-known parents (which people don't bring up for fear of making things uncomfortable), likely had no other notorious relatives. Slughorn wouldn't notice him and Neville wouldn't seek him out. Neville's strength of character and determination is something that manifested quietly for a long time - what was a big step for Neville was often a small step for other people. I think that Neville made an incredible transformation and I do think he was unique and important enough to make the Slug Club. I just don't think it ever occured to Slughorn OR Neville!

I agree. I think Neville deserved to be in the club, but that Slughorn just couldn't see that because he wasn't the best academically. I would, however, have thought that Slughorn might have wanted him for being related to his parents, who were somewhat honoured for their contribution to the Order.
