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.
Dumbledore, to whom the prophecy was originally made, explains that it concerns "the Chosen One", a wizard that would have the power to vanquish Voldemort. This "Chosen One" would be born "as the seventh month dies", and thus the prophecy could refer to either Neville, born on 30 July 1980, or Harry, born on 31 July.
Voldemort assumed this was because Dumbledore knew the full prophecy, wich said Harry was the one. b) The curse backfired in Godric's Hollow, and it became obvious, from Voldemort's point of view, that Harry, not Neville, was the one.
In the books it is made explicitly clear that Neville or Harry could be the chosen one as both were males born on the last couple of days of July in 1980, and both parents were a threat to Voldemort, and both parents were taken out by Voldemort/his supporters.
He did not hear the full prophecy and he did not knew that Harry would have been marked as his equal. He knew that both Harry and Neville satisfy the conditions of the prophecy and he intended to kill Neville after he finishes Harry. But he never got that chance.
Due to his humiliation in the Triwizard Tournament, Cedric eventually becomes a Death Eater and kills Neville Longbottom. Due to Neville's death, the final Horcrux Nagini was never destroyed, and as a result Voldemort is never defeated, kills Harry and takes over the Wizarding World.
Voldemort intentionally made six Horcruxes, but when he used Avada Kedavra on Harry, he unintentionally created a seventh Horcrux. Instead of dying, Lily's love for Harry created a counter 'curse' known as Sacrificial Protection and saved Harry.
While most fans agree that Harry is the unrefuted Chosen One, the final Deathly Hallows film (in particular) sways heavily toward highlighting a heroic Neville, revitalizing the debate regarding which boy is better suited for the iconic title.
Harry is the Heir of Slytherin (through his mother's side) and also related to Gryffindor (through his father's side) though the current Heir of Gryffindor is Neville.
Neville Longbottom, Harry's classmate, was also born at the end of July, and also born to parents who had thrice defied Lord Voldemort. Nonetheless, Voldemort picked Harry for the reasons Dumbledore theorises here. 'But he might have chosen wrong! ' said Harry.
Tom Riddle, who later became known as Lord Voldemort, was born with exceptional magical abilities and a sharp intellect. However, his early years were marked ... Hagrid did know that Tom Riddle was Voldemort. In fact, he was one of the very few people who knew Voldemort's true identity and past.
Obvious spoiler warning! Yep, that happened: Bellatrix and Voldemort had sex sometime around Order of the Phoenix or Half-Blood Prince, and their wild night in bed led to a child named Delphi Diggory/Riddle/Lestrange. According to Delphi herself, she was born sometime before the Battle of Hogwarts.
The clue he received in the film was from Bellatrix, who was in a frantic frenzy when she thought her vault was broken into.

In the Chamber itself, we see a large statue of a wizard, which Harry presumes is Salazar Slytherin. We also meet Tom Riddle, who is, as it turns out, the heir of Slytherin. Present only in spirit, he has all the same been controlling Ginny, and having her act as Slytherin's heir.
Her real parents were Daneel and Dean Novak, Pureblooded wizards. Turns out Daneel was Tom Riddles younger sister, Daneel Riddle. Of course, the Riddles were related to Salzar Slytherin himself, and this made Hermione the living heir of Slytherin.
Andrea Deanisi as Wiglaf Sigurdsson, the Heir of Rowena Ravenclaw.
Hermione Granger
If she were the Chosen One, she probably would have discovered the news for herself during a little bit of light reading (sorry Dumbledore, no need to get involved), finished off all of the Horcruxes by third year and then focused on what really mattered: her education.
Harry was the Chosen One because Voldemort chose Harry, and Harry also chose himself. It had everything to do with choices and nothing to do with his ability.
No. Neville just helped set up the conditions necessary for Voldemort's death by killing Nagini.
Her sacrifice gave Harry the power of love, a protection spell sealed with the blood spilled by her death.
Though Harry encountered many opportunities that deemed Avada Kedavra necessary, it remains as one of the Unforgivable Curses Harry Potter never cast. For one, he viewed the spell as an immoral practice commonly used by users of the Dark Arts.
Voldemort unwittingly makes himself a Horcrux for Harry, although it might not be called that, by taking his blood earlier.
