Exactly the point I am trying to make ! If Neville was born at the 
end of July, and his parents had defeated LV 3 times, then it is 
OBVIOUS that they were also in hiding and that LV attacking Harry 
first was just a matter of bad luck and opportunity ! If the Potters 
and DD read the Prophecy as meaning danger for Harry, they were bound 
to see it meant danger for Neville too.
