[Neville does a one-shoulder shrug, which is all he can do to keep his head on straight. The idea that Snape ever once said anything without the intention of it hurting is baffling to him.]
He's not going to be particularly bothered, even if it somehow comes as a shock to him later.
[And that lack of regret, for anything as far as Neville can tell - word or action - all the unconvincing excuses that Snape has been sneering at him since Neville first heard the words Albus Dumbledore Academy over the network and reacted (he feels) accordingly... They all just sit in Neville's stomach and curdle there like bad milk. His fingers twist in the ends of his sleeves, and he pushes forward where any other time he might have ducked his head and deflected. Left the words uncertain and unspoken.]
It really doesn't bother you? The things he's done? [Because Harry's mum seems, by all accounts, a perfectly lovely person and not someone that would approve of the sort of things that Snape let happen at Hogwarts, no matter what Harry says.] I mean the things he says don't really matter, do they, in the end. [Not that Neville didn't still let them get to him in the worst way.]
