True. Well, actually DD shows Harry the prophecy, from his pensieve
(pg. 841). So, I guess, it can be assumed it's accurate. There's still
a record of the prophesy (DD, that smart guy!)

Probono, however, still has a point. If Voldemort has only heard the
first part of the prophesy, is he simply unaware of Neville? Or does
he believe that Neville is weak (like everybody else) and unable of
being the one. After all, shouldn't his defeat be caused by a person
of great power? Which makes me wonder if the idea posted awhile back
(sorry, I don't remember who) that Neville's powers may have been
surpressed either by his parents or maybe Gran? After all, seeing her
son nearly killed might drive her to protect her grandson from the
same fate. And then there's the whole issue of using his father's wand...

Neville has to have more to do with this than we've been seeing so
far. He has too. Wouldn't it be funny if Neville kills Voldemort in
the end? Hrmmmmm..........
