Amey:
It was never a second chance for werewolf Lupin? If it was second chance, when did he have his first and what did he do with it (Ughh... seems like talking about Snape). 

<PoA>
"He let me into Hogwarts as a boy, and he gave me a job when I have been shunned all my adult life, unable to find paid work because of what I am." - Prof. Lupin
</PoA>

Now, he says so himself, so it is not at all final if we consider the ESE!Lupin theory (I don't subscribe to that theory). There is no way to dispute one way or other, but till he is proved guilty of being ESE, I am thinking he is only werewolf, who Dumbledore gave work. (""Innocent until proven guilty, Severus," he said firmly.")

Amey:
Given such a golden chance of disputing something, I can hardly wait. Ok, here goes. 
<Takes stance, ready, aim, ....>
If Snape was there and tried to save Lily, then LV would surely know that he is not DE as he says, and the moment he goes back to LV after his return, he would have been dead. Even being Occlumens wouldn't help him there. Ok, if he was invisible or something, then this might be ok, but still, his interference would be in the form of some spell either to shield Harry or to stop (kill) LV (which is almost impossible if you believe DEs talking in those days). And if he shielded Harry, that would mean he is the source of the protecting charm we hear about. Then what is the reason of hating him?? Does Harry remind him more of James than Lily? (""I expect you'll tire of hearing it, but you do look extraordinarily like James. Except for the eyes... you have your mother's eyes."). 
Also, if Harry couldn't be a muggle. At most he can be a squib. 
And the prophesy says nothing like LV can kill only the person mentioned in the prophesy. Otherwise, it would be pretty bad for him (I mean, a Dark Lord who can kill only one person... who will fear him? ;)) So, he made the decision based on what he heard, and marked Harry there as *`The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord *. 
I am not sure what part Neville plays. I believe he is half part of *The One*, in the sense that he is going to be instrumental in the war now. Reminds me, isn't it Neville who we find with the trio everywhere when they are more than 3? So, he has a part to play, but I am sure not as central as Harry. 
A wild theory here, what if in 7, Harry takes over Neville as LV does to Harry in MoM and they together vanquish LV? :) 
<... and the pin clicks on empty round>
