Sorry, I don't buy it.

Harry and Neville never did anything to hurt each other whereas Harry
half killed Voldemort when he was one, stopped him directly twice,
PS/SS CoS, warned Dumbledore (his greatest enemy) when he did come
back, stopped him from getting the prophecy and is now in the process
of destroying his Horcruxes, and Voldemort killed Harry's parents,
godfather and mentor and made it impossible for him to live a normal
life.

Having said that Neville could potentially get very resentful of Harry.
Harry's parents died a hero's death whereas his exist in a kind of
limbo almost like the Dementor's kiss victims; Harry gets fame, he is
unpopular and overlooked. His Gran is sort of the opposite of the
Dursleys- she wants him to take after his father and the pressure is
just as negative as the neglect and resentment from the Dursleys.
Has Neville got it in him to be evil? I don't think so, but it's
always the quiet ones.

Bookish Rose...a very quiet one.
