Did Harry Notice?

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.
