it after I started wondering if the prophecy was about Neville
instead of (or along with) Harry after all, because I (along with
Amy Z and Lizvega) find it quite odd that JKR would raise the
tantalizing suggestion that the prophecy might not have been about
Harry after all (as Dumbledore tells us) and then allow Dumbledore's
conclusion that there's no doubt that it was Harry to stand
unchallenged. One of the possibilities, which is not precluded by
canon to date, is that the prophecy is about Neville and that in the
final battle, Harry will be unable to defeat Voldemort and Neville
will do it for him.

Just to stir the pot a little, what if Harry is "the one" but how
he defeats LV is by helping Neville gain confidence in himself both
as a wizard and a person and Neville is actually the one who defeats
LV. Using this scenerio both boys of who the prohecy spoke fulfill
it.
