When she's saved by an alien that thinks she's a boy with deformations, she figh Nelson Science Fiction. Ara, the only woman left alive after a plague, is searching for a way to save humanity. She thinks there isn't a man she can trust, until she meets K At first it seems simple, the answer is Harry, but it is a little more complicated than that. When it comes down to it in my opinion Neville is the chosen one in the films, while Harry is the chosen on in the books.
What makes Harry explicitly the chosen one in the books is 3 things, 1 Voldemort chose him that night to be the chosen one and decided to kill him and his family personally to avoid the prophecy, 2 Harry and Neville actually talked this out and Harry chose to take the possible responsibility off of Neville and to be the chosen one, and 3 after Neville killed the snake then Harry hit Voldemort with the spell and he dropped dead, there is no confusion, Harry is the one who killed him.
But then we get the case to the films. However if we assume it is then the evidence points to Neville being the chosen one. So in the books Harry Potter is indeed the chosen one, but in the films the rightful title goes to Neville Longbottom. All that despite his parents being Aurors who want to capture him. He was born at the end of July, his parents were decommissioned by one of Voldemort's people, he found the prophecy, and he is directly responsible for Voldemort's death and not Harry in the films.
Snape might resent Neville on those grounds, but equally blame the Death Eaters and train Neville out of spite. Neville may end up befriending someone reckless to be his personality antithesis, who would drag him into the trouble he needs to grow and destroy the Horcruxes.

OghmaOsiris - I'm not sure what you mean. Were Neville's parents already institutionalized by the time the Potters were attacked? If not, Neville would have been under the care of his parents, not his grandmother.
Augusta Longbottom Neville's grandmother is characterized as a very stern and exacting woman. Not exactly a carbon copy of Lily Potter. As well, a theme through the book compares sacrifices different parents make -- compare Lily and James Potter to Merope Gaunt and Tom Riddle Sr, for example.
Neville's parents were perfectly well when Voldemort killed Harry's parents. They were tortured to insanity afterwards because Bellatrix thought they know where V was hiding. Every answer basically says "no". I strongly disagree. I will make it an answer if i find the quote again — Kalissar.
The fact that Harry survived the killing curse had absolutely nothing to do with Harry. He could've been the stupidest, weakest little cretin, but if his mother loved him enough to sacrifice herself, then he would've survived. So the question is not, would Neville have been [insert admirable character trait here] enough, but would his parents have been self-sacrificing enough. And given that his parents were patently brave enough to be tortured into insanity, the answer is "probably yes".

Four people Barty Crouch Jr, Bellatrix and her husband are not explicitly named but are two of them, and the fourth is Rabastan Lestrange : The four of you stand accused of capturing an Auror - Frank Longbottom - and subjecting him to the Cruciatus Curse, believing him to have knowledge of the present whereabouts of your exiled master, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named Shortly thereafter, Dumbledore pulls Harry out and explains: The Longbottoms were very popular Improve this answer.
Rebel 42 1, 10 10 silver badges 21 21 bronze badges. Kevin Kevin Something that shouldn't be forgotten is the fact that the help from Severus Snape was instrumental for Harry defeating Voldemort. That help comes from the fact that Snape loved Lily and as such, helped Dumbledore to help Harry in his own way.
In the beginning, he shows the typical traits of a boy raised by his grandmother, but he changes significantly throughout the series, so he must have had something more in him. So I don't think we can conclude that Neville would not have done everything he thought necessary, including leaving school. Remember that Harry's character is also shaped by the piece of Voldemort's soul in him; so would Neville's character have been different it he was chosen.
Martha: Hermione didn't just leave school because of Harry and Ron. She wasn't pureblood, and was at danger in her 7th year anyway. So I guess she would have left Hogwarts regardless of the mission.

KeithS KeithS Would he have survived Voldemort's attack? Probably Everyone seems to be focusing on whether Neville could have defeated Voldemort, not if he could have simply survived the initial attempt on his life. Likewise, it was after Voldemort attack on Harry that The Longbottoms were targeted by Death Eaters: The four of you stand accused of capturing an Auror - Frank Longbottom - and subjecting him to the Cruciatus Curse, believing him to have knowledge of the present whereabouts of your exiled master, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named Therefore, Nevilles parents were alive when the attack on Harry occurred.
Jenayah Important side note: unlike Harry, who was deliberately kept away from the wizarding world and his own fame, Neville was raised in the wizarding world.
If he'd grown up as The Boy Who Lived, who knows what he would have become. A slightly less twattish Draco Malfoy, probably. It's not only courage. Otherwise lots of people would have the protection.
The difference is that Voldemort didn't want to kill Lily because of Snape. I don't think Voldemort cared about The Longbottoms, so their sacrifice would have been useless and Neville would have died.
