Why is everyone so convinced the prophecy is correct?

I think you're missing something.  Harry picked the orb up off the 
shelf.  If the prophecy had really been about Neville and not about 
Harry, then Harry would have ended up in St Mungo's like Bode (I 
think it was Bode who tried to get it under Voldy's command) did.  It 
was made clear that the prophesy orb could only be taken by the person
s) the phophesy was about... then, and only then, could someone else 
touch it.

What I find interesting is that only two people handle the prophecy--
Harry and Neville, the ONLY two boys the prophecy could possibly 
apply to.

Apparently, at birth, the prophecy could have applied equally to 
either Harry or Neville. Basically, I believe the prophecy could 
still apply to eityher of them.  I don't think the choice is not 
final yet.
