Sherbertlemons, I do write fics, but it's a just-for-me thing. I think I have one posted on FictionAlley, under my IM name. Basicly my theory is that Neville wasn't born an almost-squib, but that the shock of seeing his parents tortured scared all the magic out of him. It's only now that he's getting it back.
James, I agree that Voldemort sealed the prophecy by trying to avoid it. In HP3, McGonagal talks about how the Potters knew that Voldemort was after them. Dumbledore must have guessed from the prophecy and sent both the Potters and the Longbottoms into hiding. The key point here, I think, is that Voldemort chose the boy who was most like himself, with one Muggle-born parent. Even though he preached the doctrine of pure blood, he knew that the one without it would be stronger. So it's not that Neville should have been the one after all. It's that Neville and Harry are linked in a very important way, thus opening the door for Neville to have a role in the endgame.
I really do hope that Harry does not die, but someome has to.
ETA: 94%. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
