Inkling now:

Add to all that how strange it would be indeed to have a seven book 
series focused on Harry Potter in which it turns out that someone 
else is the hero.  That would be the Matrix ending with the 
revelation that it's really Tank who was the One.  Anything's 
possible, of course, but this just seems so unlikely.

Having said that, I do think it's significant that the prophecy could 
have referred to either Harry or Neville. It points to links in their 
destiny, and a major role for Neville in the final outcome.  But as 
to who is "the One" referred to in the prophecy, I'll say again I 
don't see how it could be anyone but Harry.
