IIRC, Rowling's version of Neville was only discovered to be a wizard when he was dropped from a height and bounced.
Ah, see, it never occurred to me to read that as anything other than subconscious use of magic.
That is what Rowling implied. Eliezer seems to have satirised some of the unrealistic parts of canon with respect to human physiology under trauma by making wizards explicitly more durable in MoRverse.
