Harry Potter: What If Harry Was The Villain? - 7 Ways It Would Have Changed
5. Neville Longbottom Would Be The Hero
If Harry was the villain, someone else would have had to take over the role as hero, and who better than the equally loveable Neville Longbottom?
OK, I was totally joking with that last part, but we all know that Neville could have easily been the Chosen One. Neville and Harry's parents were part of the Order of the Phoenix back in the day and where Harry's parents were murdered, Neville's were tortured to insanity by the Cruciatus curse by the Death Eaters.
On the night that Sirius died, after the battle at the Ministry of Magic at the end of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore showed Harry the complete Lost Prophecy. It is then that we learn that it was possible that Neville could also have been the Chosen One.
Now, if Harry were out to get vengence, killing everyone in his way (for fun or motive, I'll let you decide), the tables could have turned and Neville could have been the one to save the day.
But how? That brings me to my next point.
