Mandy here:

Yes Ollivander does say the "...when it's brother gave you that 
scar.",  but that's because it's what everyone in the WW believes. 
With an absence of witnesses to the events in Godric's Hollow no one 
is able to disagree.  But it doesn't necessarily mean it actually 
happened.  DD also told Harry Voldemort gave him his scar but I'm 
trusting DD less and less in each book. 

Yes, the prophecy states that Voldemort will "mark him as his equal" 
but there has been a lot of debate on this site as to exactly 
what 'mark' means. A physical mark or psychological mark?  Not to 
mention the whole debate on the idea that another could the 'One'. By 
they way, I personally believe it is Harry who is one to vanquish 
Lord Voldemort not Neville.

Cheers Mandy
