IMO. Remember, if LV were focused on killing Neville he'd be after 
him now as well, and we'd see more about that in canon, wouldn't we? 
Instead, LV consistently and reliably chooses to focus his killing 
efforts on Harry.

Kemper responds:
I believe the reason LV consistently and reliably focuses on killing 
Harry is that LV is misinterpreting the prophecy, as is common in 
literature throughout the ages.  The last thing LV sees before losing 
body and power is the unscarred face of Harry Potter.  It is easy to 
see why LV would be focused on Harry even though LV may have had 
plans to kill little Longbottom as well.  LV probably scrapped those 
murderous plans thinking the prophecy had to be about Harry.  And why 
shouldn't he think that as his first meeting with Harry went so 
devastingly wrong?
