Me commented:

After re-reading the prophecy a few times, I was struck by the possibility, based on its phrasing, that it was V who made the choice of which of the two children was to be his enemy.  It was V's *choice* as to which one of the two boys who fit the general outline of prophecy would be his enemy.  He chose by making the attempt on Harry.  If he had attacked Neville, the "backfire" would have had similar effects on V and Neville would have been the "chosen one."

Half a mo - if V had attacked Neville, the "backfire" couldn't have been the same - didn't Lilly have something to do with it?
