Wasn't it mentioned somewhere that the Potters (meaning James's
parents) were more or less independantly wealthy? At any rate, it
would make sense for the Potters to have been protected by the Fidelus
Charm as Harry was one of the possible targets of the Prophecy - it's
not hard to imagine that Neville was given the same protection. Or
perhaps Dumbledore figured that Voldemort might go after the
half-blood, like himself, instead of the full-blooded Neville and put
extra protection on the Potters.
