Neri:
We are likely to get a hint regarding this soon. In the FAQ pole in 
JKR's website, the leading question (by a huge margin) is "what is 
the significance of Neville being the other boy to whom the prophecy 
might have referred?" It must have been at least three months since 
this pole was set, so she must answer it soon (or at least I hope 
so). She must have had a good reason to include this question in the 
first place.
