So touching! I like how the story seems to foreshadow Neville's snake-slaying in DH. :-)

Thanks!

I read the poem purely by accident and I thought it was perfect for Neville -- a boy slays a monster with a sword for his dad. There are differences of course, but I thought it was fun to have Frank read that to Neville, not knowing of course that Neville would do what the boy in the Jabberwock does. It was fun.
