I have been wondering similar lines along what happened to 
Harry, in relation to the prophecy.  For one thing (I have had a 
boring summer, and have just finished re-reading all five books), 
Harry was about one when he arrived at the Dursleys.  AND 
Trewlaney (sp?) made her prediction just before their (Harry and 
Neville) births.  Wouldn't it have made sense for Dumbledore to 
protect BOTH babies?  He didn't know (well, for that matter, NO 
ONE knew) who the prophecy was supposed to relate to.  Just a 
thought.

Another idea that occured to me, we all know about how Lily's 
love protected Harry, and that Voldemort has some of this blood 
now.  And I am sure someone has said it before (im new to the 
group), Dumbledore had a look of victory when Harry told him 
this at the end of GoF.  Does Neville carry around some of his 
own protective blood.  After all, we are still slightly unclear as to 
what happened to Neville's parents, except that they were both 
tortured into insanity.  (I forget why exactly, but werent they 
looking for information?).  Maybe they also wanted to hit the other 
baby, just out of spite or something.  And, this isnt my idea 
though, is Neville the victim of a memory charm (i.e. Berta)?  
Which might mean he remembers what happened to his 
parents (Harry still remembers, occasionally, and Neville was 
just slightly older).
