Neville is actually blameless for losing the password list—Crookshanks stole it at Sirius Black's request. Black will use it two nights hence to enter Gryffindor tower. That event causes some confusion, however, as Black apparently attacks Ron, rather than Harry, his supposed target; it is actually the departed Scabbers, who slept in Ron's bed, that Black is hunting. It is worth noting, however, that having Neville lose the list is a well-crafted plot device by the author; Neville has always been characterized as having memory problems, particularly with passwords, so his losing the list would perfectly fit his character.

 

 

We see a recurring pattern throughout the story: whenever someone wonders how Hermione can be taking so many classes, there is promptly some interruption that ends further speculation. It is a tribute to the author's skill that the interruptions, rather than being contrived, seem like normal occurrences, or as normal as they can be in the situation. Scabbers' "death" is such an occurrence, interrupting Harry's musing about the topic. While this event is extraordinary, it is not entirely unexpected. Like Ron and, to a lesser extent, Harry, we can see that Crookshanks has been targeting Scabbers ever since his introduction to the story. Thus Scabbers' apparent demise, seemingly at Crookshanks' claws, while somewhat surprising, is still a natural progression, making the interruption seem quite natural.
