Okay, well I really liked the idea that the prophesy could have 
referred to either Harry or Neville; but I think that just because 
Voldemort decided that it must be Harry doesn't neccessarily mean 
that Harry irrevocably had to be The One. That is, perhaps because 
Voldemort went after Harry instead of Neville, he *made* it Harry 
instead of Neville by the curse scar. 

JKR tends to make a big deal about the fact that it is not biology 
or genetics that determines one's future, but behaviour and 
decisions. Therefore, I can't really believe that Harry was Born to 
defeat Voldemort, but V's actions by choosing him (rather than 
Neville) made it so. If V had attacked Neville instead and given him 
the curse scar, maybe Neville just as easily could have absorbed V's 
powers and been V's arch nemesis.
