The prophecy only warned that a child would be born at the end of the 7th 
month with the power to destroy the dark lord, it didn't specify which child. It 
left it up to Voldemort to chose which one. 'mark him as his equal"   I read 
that to mean that if LV had selected Neville then Neville would have had the 
power to destroy him.
