I think Harry had to end it not only because of the prophesy that Voldemort fulfilled himself,

Ah, but Voldemort marked Nevile as well. Emotional scars, scars far deeper than the cut on Harry's forehead, when he personally tortured both of Nevile's parents into insanity. Nevile also meets that end of July birth requirement.

And Rowling arguably foreshadowed it with Mme Pomphrey's comments on scars.

but because of the Christ-like figure that Rowling might have been going for.

Yeah. See also "The Hidden Key to Harry Potter" By John (no relation to Hermione) Granger.

I definitely read Harry as a Christ-like figure

Me too. It made the ending rather predictable, though.

Why are you having this ridiculous issue when the books were Harry Potter, not Neville. Eek.
