Well you learn in book 5 that the prophecy only stated a wizard born in July. Neville was born 1 day before Harry. Thus if Voldemort would have went after Neville instead, he could have easily been the one who stopped Voldemort.
But what people seem to forget, even in the books, Harry wasn't the one who beat Voldemort the first time. It was actually Lily Potter who defeated Voldemort, her sacrifice to save Harry made it so Voldemort could not harm Harry in anyway ultimately causing the killing curse to rebound.
