I also think there are some things (issues) that aren't revealed yet
concerning Snape and his relationship to Harry. 
As for your observation on Neville, I don't think he is the HBP. He
comes from a wizard family (they feared he was a squib) so he can't be
a halfblood. 
I don' think the HBP has to be linked directly with the prophecy. My
first impulse is to say that it could be a character that already has
been introduced but not yet fully developped (Seamus Finnigan ??? He
already appears in the first movie ??). That theory about James Potter
also has some plausibility (but then again JK claims that nor
Voldemort, nor Harry are the HBP). 
So who knows ... it could be a code or something (as someone has said
in another thread) ...
