Longbottom

Gryffindor who struggled

Longbottom is a surname, most familiar from Neville Longbottom, a character in the Harry Potter series who transforms from bumbling student to hero.

The name suggests a valley or low-lying area—a long bottom of land.

As English surnames go, it's mildly comical to modern ears, which suits the character's early awkwardness.
