Kethryn (who smacks herself in the forehead for not seeing this possibility),

Of course!  That sheds a whole new light on the situation, Potioncat.  Other than being the same year and both of them are Griffindors, what do Harry and Neville have in common?  They are both the possible candidates for the prophecy that Dumbledor tells Harry in the end of OotP.  Well, except for the matter of the scar but do we know that Snape knows the prophecy in its entirety or does he know Voldemort's version?  And, if he does know the whole version, does he accept that Harry is the one the prophecy is about or is he holding Neville in reserve?  What about the scar, you ask?  Well, theoretical time here, Neville is marked by the Dark Lord as much as Harry is only his scars are not visible.  How about knowing your parents suffered horribly, they will never be normal again and you have to take care of them in their infantile state; don't you think that would leave a mark as well?

Kethryn who thinks that is a rather neat theory in and of itself but does not expect anyone else to agree with her.
