IMHO Neville and Harry are in this together -

GEO: I disagree with this. If it was indeed both Harry and Neville 
then why does the prophecy refer to them in the singular (the one) 
instead of say the plural(Ones). Besides think about it, Neville 
hasn't been marked by Voldemort in any form, he doesn't have the 
connection that Harry has to Voldemort and he hasn't shown to have 
the power to vanquish Voldemort, which I for one think is tied into 
the scar that binds both boy and Dark Lord and the fact that 
Voldemort was reborn with the use of Harry's blood and thus 
introduced a weakness into himself.

This line of thought got me thinking.  In C38 of OOTP when the kids are in the hospital wing, Madame Pomfrey says something about thoughts leaving deeper scars than physical wounds.  She is referring to Ron being attacked by the brain in the DOM.  But, we know Neville has some pretty severe scarring as a result of his parents condition.  GOF and OOTP dedicated some poignant moments to it.  This could be used to support the Neville sleeper position and the power of two.
 
I am not saying I believe it, but I am one of those who think Neville is destined for great things.
