Neville and the Prophecy (was The Longbottoms-a theory)

My opinion on why Voldemort hasn't yet sought after Neville is this, 
as said, Voldemort didn't hear the whole prophesy and went off 
attacking Harry without realizing he was 'marking' him. He likely was 
going to go after  Neville as well, but as Wormtail was the Potter's 
secret keeper, Voldemort had the opportunity to go after Harry first. 
After Voldemort was vaporized, his attacks on Harry became a more 
personal thing, and less about the prophesy (though i'm sure he still 
thought about that) just like how in GoF he uses Harry's blood when 
he could have used someone else's. It wasn't about killing Harry for 
the sake of the prophesy, but killing him out of revenge. 

I sort of doubt Voldemort will go after Neville. I don't think that 
there could be much doubt in his mind that Harry must've been the boy 
spoken of in the prophesy. Voldemort didn't want the prophesy to 
ensure that he had the right kid, but to find out how to kill the boy 
that he already decided in his mind that the prophesy spoke of. 

I still believe that Neville will play one of the most important 
roles in the story, but I just don't think it'll be because voldemort 
will attack him because of his threat from thr prophesy.
