Why Harry and not Neville

Here are my thoughts on this..  

I have read alot of posts about why LV chose Harry over Neville..  How do we even know that LV knew about Neville?  Isn't it possible that he only knew of Harry?  
or...
  Could it be that LV was more concerned about the Potters beating him 3 times and just didn't think of the Longbottoms. Maybe something stuck with him about James or Lily defeating him in a significant way that really ticked him off..

  Here is another off hand thought...  Who says that Neville isn't "marked" by LV?  Seems to me that the loss of his parents in even a mental capacity would mark the heck out of him.  Just because it wasn't at the hand of LV doesn't mean he wasn't behind it.  Maybe being marked doesn't have to mean physically like a scar, but mentally instead.  Harry could be doing all the footwork for Neville.  Wouldn't that be a smack in the face ending..

  Anyway, just some thoughts I hadn't seen in the archives yet..  Haven't been thru them all yet, but working on it.. LOL
