Was Neville supposed to be the chosen one?
Neville Longbottom was also a candidate for the “chosen one” label, as he also fits the prophecy. By targeting him and trying to kill him, Voldemort marked him as his equal, while Neville got to live his life without that burden (though that doesn’t mean he had an easy life).
What if Neville were the chosen one?
If Neville Had Been the Chosen One, he still would have been raised by his horrid grandmother because, in case anyone forgot, Neville also lost his parents. If Neville Had Been the Chosen One, he would have grown up in the Wizarding World with everyone knowing his name. This might have improved his confidence a smidge.
Who is the real chosen one in Harry Potter?
Potter is chosen by Voldemort marking him to be his equal. He chose Harry based on the prophecy by Sybill Trelawney. The prophecy fit two children, Harry Potter & Neville Longbottom but Voldemort chose Harry. And thus Harry became the chosen one.
Why did Voldemort choose Harry instead of Neville?
However, Voldemort chose Harry as his target, who was, like himself, a half-blood, rather than the pure-blooded boy named Neville. Voldemort chose Harry as he believed Harry was the most danger to him and he saw himself in Harry before even seeing him.
