Hickengruendler:

I think it is possible. And it would be especially nice, if he is 
able to cure his parents. However, I just don't think he will become  
a healer. Ever since reading JKR's statement that one of Harry's 
classmates (not Harry, not Ron and not the one we probably think 
about [Hermione, probably]) will become a teacher, I think she meant 
Neville. Especially since Harry's dream in OotP, where McGonagall is 
playing the bagpipes and Neville is dancing with Professor Sprout. Of 
course he just could have been associated with Sprout because of his 
love for Herbology, however, Harry's dreams often involve a lot of 
foreshadowing, and I'm interpreting this dream this way, that 
McGonagall will have the command (in other words, she'll be 
headmistress), and Neville will become the Herbology teacher.

About the predictions: well, the part about Luna is obviously wrong 
(and in such an obvious way wrong, that JKR can't have made a 
mistake, I really don't think so). Therefore either the poster wasn't 
JKR, or she made some nonsense predictions on purpose. And in this 
case we just don't know which predictions to believe and which not. 
While I think that Neville will get an Owl in Potions, I really doubt 
that he gets an O. This is IMO as unlikely as Luna suddenly being in 
Harry's year. ;-)
