Whenever I tell people that I want Neville to kill Voldy, I get one of two replies:
1. But the books are about Harry, so that's not going to happen.
and
2. But didn't you hear about how Harry was marked as the Dark Lord's equal?
I also hear "yes, I want that too" but there's no point arguing with that.
Look, I *know* the books are about Harry. I'm not saying "this is what I expect", I'm saying "this is what I want". I want Neville to kill Voldy and Harry to die. That's not nearly the same as saying "I think that Neville will kill Voldy and Harry will die" because I don't think that. I think, in fact, that JKR is going to deliberately mess up the books for me by having Harry kill Voldy and survive. JKR is mean.
As for the second argument, yes, I heard that. However, nowhere does it say that only one of them can be marked as the Dark Lord's equal. There's still plenty of time for Voldy to mark Neville as an equal. It's still possible. He's not restricted to only one equal. Please *think*, people! Just because Dumbledore doesn't seem to think Neville is ever going to be a possibility ever again doesn't make it so. Dumbledore isn't omniscient, and he lies. Or, at least, doesn't tell the whole truth.
*looks around*
Okay, I'm done. Back to looking for Dudley fic, just to appease my sick curiousity (and thank you for posting the links). I'm starting to get despondant.

I did find quite a good fic a while back, where Dean turned out to be the one marked by Voldemort. It was quite good, if a little depressing.
