The Canada passage is perfect--I totally know what the guy means. And yeah, that's the thing--courage can actually be the thing that seems like the smaller risk. It just depends what, to you, seems the hardest thing to face.
I'm definitely in the group of people who thinks Neville is best when he's courageous by being independent and just going along no matter what people think of him--or asking people to the ball until someone says yes. (Since I imagine Neville has a fairly realistic idea of who he is--I don't think he's one of those guys who doesn't realize why he should be worried about asking a girl to a dance!)
