Not likely, The first part of the prophesy is the part that involves 
Neville.

The part that Voldemort has not been told or did not hear was most 
likely these two lines.

"...and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have 
power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of 
the other for neither can live while the other survives..." 

Oh the headache of contemplating this part. 

"either must die at the hand of the *other* " (emphasis mine). 

Is this other *the other of the either* ? 
Or is this *other* Neville ? 

I do suspect that Neville may be the one to take out the Dark 
Lord ........ or Harry.

" ...for neither can live while the other survives.... "

Perhaps all three must die for Voldemort to be defeated.

Scenarios with Other/Neville. (add your own context)

1 Neville kills Voldemort but Harry cant live while the 
Other/Neville survives so somehow Harry or Neville dies too.

2 Neville kills Harry (Imperio thread) but Voldemort cannot live 
while Other/Neville survives so he dies too.

3 Voldemort Kills Neville but Neville manages to get one off and 
Voldemort is finished and Harry is free to live on.

4. God forbid! Harry kills Neville (Imperio threaders take note!) 
and Voldemort can never be defeated.
