(we're not sure about what they did, though), and we know that the WW 
is a small one.  It is quite possible that the Potters and the 
Longbottoms worked together on some sort of charm to protect *both* 
babies. Maybe any protective action by a mother (her love) is what 
set the spell off that saved Harry, and the same thing could most 
definitely have happened for Neville.

Me-

Seeing as Dumbledoor heard the whole prophecy, he knew it was 
Voldermort's choice whether to attack Neville or Harry, so wouldn't 
the Fidelius Charm be performed on both babies? Dumbledoor would have 
had no way of finding out which Voldermort intended to attack so it 
seems logical that they would have taken all precautions.

The prophecy states that whichever he chose Voldermort would mark 
them as his equal, so it doesn't really matter if Alice would have 
reacted the same Lily, things probably would have turned out the same 
with respect to Voldemort disappearing anyway.
