I've always assumed Dumbledore would have told both the Longbottoms and
the Potters the gist, if not the exact words of the prophecy, since
both boys had to be protected until Voldemort made his "choice." The
broom-shed conversation would still be accurate; the Potters are dead
and sadly, the Longbottoms can't be said to truly "know" anything much
anymore.
We still don't know where Neville was that Halloween night. The
Longbottoms did not seem to have gone into hiding with their child like
the Potters did, since Bella tracked them down so easily after Voldy
fell and there's no indication he was with them then (else Bella would
probably have tortured the baby instead of the parents.) I've wondered
if they didn't send Neville off into hiding with Gran when they learned
of the prophecy, with Frank or Alice as the Secret-keeper for their
location. As formidable as Augusta turned out in her old age, she would
probably have been a pretty powerful protectress when younger.
