Such a good "gotcha" at the end of the series.  It doesn't make Harry 
any less of a hero, IMO.  I'm not saying it IS Neville just that it 
is still possible that it could be him.

Voldermort fulfilled the prophecy himself by attacking Harry.  For 
anyone who has trouble with prophecies, I would suggest you read 
Oedipus Rex.  Most people know the prophecy was that he would kill 
his father and marry his mother.  What they don't know (this is the 
abbreviated version) if they haven't read it is that his father tried 
to circumvent the prophecy by having the baby Oedipus taken in the 
wilderness and left to die.  Instead, he was found and brought up by 
someone else.  When he became of age, he went off to town.  There, he 
fell in love with a woman and ended up in a battle with her husband.  
He killed the man and married the woman. It just happend to be he 
killed his father and married his mother (without knowing who they 
were at the time).  If his father had not sent him off to die, none 
of it may have ever happened.

By the same token, Voldermort picked Harry, so he is the one.
