Ms. Luna,
I don't think that this dream of Harry's negates Neville becoming a
healer.  In fact it could 
point to him becoming one.  My reasoning behind this are that healers
and herbalists work 
*hand-in-hand*, work together to heal those that are *sick*.  For
example, remember in 
CoS when muggle borns were being petrified?  Prof. Sprout was the one
who had the herb 
or plant that when matured and properly prepared by Madam Pomfrey cured 
everyone who had been petrified.  Healers need herbalists in order to
come up with 
potions to cure those in the WW, so therefore they work together. As
far as McGonagall 
playing the bagpipes while Neville and Prof. Sprout are dancing, this
could point to her 
either being headmistress or MoM, ...(MoM has *command* of both St.
Mungo's and 
Hogwarts)   Just another interpretation of the dream.
