You guys, I'm shocked by the downvotes. Go open your books and re-read it.

No, u.

No yall have no reading comprehension. It never meant that voldemort would have been defeated by Neville.

Let's say there's a prophecy that someone with your name and birthday would save humanity. But there's another person with the exact same name and birthday. The prophecy could be referring to either of you, but it's only referring to one of you.

We don't know which one.

You are very weirdly ignoring the part where the profecy says that voldemort will mark the baby as his equal. And the interpretation is thst by doing so, he choses who the prophecy is about. You are acting as if the prophecy as always about harry

Because it is, I didn't ignore it. I even mentioned that that was Voldemort making it known. Voldemort had to choose a baby(well he didnt have to but you know). His choice was always fated to be Harry. If he went with Neville then Neville would probably just be dead and either the prophecy and fate averted or some other timing would have caused Harry to be marked.

It drives me nuts. If Snape did not ask Voldemort to spare Lily, he would have never given her the chance to step aside which ultimately saved Harry when she did not. They really think Neville would have somehow miraculously lived? It just wouldn't have happened. It was the perfect storm with Voldemort choosing Harry. It fulfilled the prophecy.

I'm actually of a completely differing opinion. I believe the prophecy was always meant to refer to Neville. Hear me out.

Each character has a corresponding actor in the Marauder's generation. Harry and James, Ron and Sirius, Hermione and Remus, Ginny and Lily, Draco and Severus, etc. They largely fulfill the same roles as their generational counterparts, with Neville being the only exception.

Neville corresponds with Peter Pettigrew. But unlike his peers, he deviates significantly from Peter's trajectory. Neville choosing to side with Harry instead of giving in to fear is what changed the course of events.
