So it's only just hit me that there wasn't 2 Black heirs in Draco & Harry but 3 with Neville and if Draco was born a month later there'd be 3 choices for the Boy Who Lived.
Or rather Draco would have- if his parents had defied the V-man 3 times.

I don't think Neville is anywhere near being a Black heir.
For one thing, Between the children/grandchildren/great grandchildren of Cygnus and the children/grandchildren/great-grandchildren of Arcturus (who married Lysandra Yaxley) there's the children etc of Belvina Black who married Herbert Burke. If they had living sons, or living grandsons they'd be the heirs after Draco and Harry and before Neville.
For another, Frank is alive albeit incapacitated. We have no idea if the wizarding world has a process for deeming someone incapable.
You could say that about most of Harry's year or the year below him. If they'd been born slightly later/earlier and their parents had defied Voldemort then they could also have been a candidate for the prophecy.

Leaves you wondering if Dumbledore just orchestrated setting up the Potters and Longbottoms because he could influence the families as Order members? Imagine if some stranger was the child of prophecy and the old meddler didn't know who, or couldn't orchestrate his sacrificial lamb? |

Or being... Could have been an owl that refused to take his mail, a centaur refused to read the stars or a house elf.

*snicker* Now that would have been unexpected. Though very sad, because then the MOB would have sacrificed so many lives for nothing.
