Why did Snape hate Neville so much?, A Theory of Mine

Snape despises Neville, but we never really know a concrete reason, do we? Well, we know that the prophecy made about Voldemort could have been about either Neville OR Harry. I think that later Snape discovered that it could have been Neville, and resented him for it. If Voldemort had chosen Neville as the correct boy to kill, then Lily would have never died. Thus, Snape resents Neville's continued existence. Thoughts? -------------------- July 15, 2009 -- Half-Blood Prince hits theaters. November 2010 -- Deathly Hallows, Part One hits theaters. July 2011 -- Deathly Hallows, Part Two hits theaters. Proud to admit that Harry changed my life.
