There's very little evidence to determine Neville's feelings, so you 
could be right.  But I'm dissuaded from that line of thinking by the 
remembrance that Ginny wasn't Neville's first choice for a date, and 
they apparently didn't end the night together.  Also, he may have 
aided any member of the DA just the same.

Ginny also defends Neville on the train to Hogwarts, albeit from himself. In 
the Luna Lovegood chapter Harry and Neville have just seen Luna for the first 
time.  Luna says to Harry "your Harry Potter and then she turns to Neville and 
says:

'And I don't know who you are.'
'I'm nobody,' said Neville hurriedly.
'No you're not,' said Ginny sharply. 'Neville Longbottom - Luna Love
good. Luna's in my year, but in Ravenclaw.'

Now I always thought Neville said that just to not draw Luna's attention to 
himself. Ginny "sharp" reply seemed out of place to me. 

<<But I certainly love Neville.  Does he have an big important role in 
the future or is he just a bit player?  That's the biggest question I 
ask myself.>>

Oh I think he does have a larger role to play just not as Voldemort's 
defeater .
