Buttercup:

I never thought of this. You're right if there's the
slightest chance that the prophecy is actualy meant
for Neville, he does have the right to know. And if
Harry has any doubts about Dumbledore's interpretation
of the prophecy, I'm sure he might consider cluing
Neville in. Neville certainly has shown bravery in
OotP. Then again Harry being the person he is may want
to protect Neville from the burden.
