A while back I speculated that this one stretches a bit further
than you've cast your net.

The two of 'neither' could be James and Lily, the 'other', Harry.

So it would be foretold that if Harry is to survive, James and Lily 
must die. Helps with the elimination of Neville, too. His parents
survived.

The rest of the posters were overwhelmed - by apathy!
If you're interested it was 'That Damn Prophecy - an alternative
