Leah: 

I like it. Also, I assume that as until the previous day the prophecy 
could have applied equally to Harry or Neville, the Longbottoms were 
also living under the Fidelius charm (and my thought is that 
Dumbledore was their Secret Keeper- one possible reason why Harry not 
Neville ended up as the One).  This would make their house 
exceptionally safe and explain why no one else notice where Harry had 
gone.
