+440 You've always wondered what would happen if Lord Voldemort chose Neville instead of Harry, amirite?

The series would have been a few books shorter...

If one of Neville's parents sacrificed themselves like Lily did, the same thing would have happened to Neville that happened to Harry. If not, Voldemort would have killed Neville easily, then gone and tried to kill Harry, and the series would have been exactly the same (minus Neville). So that means that Gryffindor would have tied Slytherin in the house cup in year one, and Nagini wouldn't have been killed, so Voldemort might have won in the second wizarding war.

and in the movie adaptation they would actually have Dobby give gillyweed to Harry.

I don't think there would be a series because Neville wouldn't have survived, because his parents wouldn't have had a chance to die for him. Lily gets the chance to die for Harry because Voldemort says he won't kill her if she lets him kill Harry, but that's only because Snape asked him to. Since I doubt any of Voldemort's death eaters was in love with Alice Longbottom, Voldemort would have just blasted her out of the way without giving her any chance to leave, meaning she wouldn't have really died for her son, get what I mean?

I still think Voldy might have told Lily to move out of the way, sort of as a "This is your last chance" kind of thing.

Did you know that this is the reason Snape hates Neville so much? In his eyes, if Voldemort had chosen Neville, Lily would never have died, making her death, indirectly, Neville's fault.

I never thought of that.

*Neville Longbottom and the Sorcerer's Stone"... That doesn't have the same type of ring to it...

Eh. I've thought about it.

I always thought it would be secretly awesome if after everything Harry did, Neville just came up and randomly killed Voldemort in the seventh book.
