"But then...but then, why was it my name on the prophecy and not Neville's?"

"The official record was relabeled after Voldemort's attack onyou as a child. It seemed plain to the keeper of the Hall of Prophecy that Voldemort could only have tried to kill you because he knew you to be the one to whom Sibyll was referring."

"Then-it might not be me?"

"I am afraid...that there is no doubt that it is you."

This conversation continues with DD telling Harry about the next part of the prophecy "...and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal..." (OOP pg 841 US edition) Voldy chose Harry, a wizard with muggle blood, over Neville, a pure-blood. Now he may have had the intentions of taking care of Neville after he had destroyed the Potter boy, insuring that there would be no one left to defeat him, but he didn't and instead he marked the "one" person who can destroy him, Harry Potter.
