  Everyone remembers the scene in which Neville nearly died during his first flying lesson at Hogwarts, solidifying him as everyone's favorite clumsy but good-hearted Gryffindor. The first year, scared of taking a ride on a broom for the first time, accidentally kicked off early and ended up flying madly around the yard, falling off his broom and only saved from breaking his neck by his robes, which, luckily, his Remembrall reminded him to grab that morning (very fortuitous). However, it's possible that this accident wasn't due to Neville's inherent clumsiness. Later in the book, Professor Quirrell, housing Voldemort in the back of his turban, tries to kill Harry by bewitching his broom during his first Quidditch match, causing it to act erratically and flying him every which way across the field, quite similar to what happened to Neville, who is also, coincidentally, the other Chosen One. Seems like Quirrell might have tried to do the same trick twice.
