Neville would've been the Chosen One if Voldemort had chosen to pursue him instead of Harry. You see, the prophecy spoke of a boy born at the closing of July -- Harry was born on the 31 and Neville was born on the 30, a day prior. Therefore, Neville had the potential to become the Chosen One without even knowing it.

No, because Lord Voldemort chose Harry Potter instead of him. Voldemort could have chosen either because the prophesy said (and this is paraphrasing) that the chosen one shall be born to parents who have defied him (Voldemort) three times.

He could have chosen either. Both Harry and Neville pocessed the qualities that the prophecy stated, but Voldemort didn't hear the whole prophecy, which said Voldemort would mark him as an equal.

Dumbledore believes Voldemort choose Harry because, like Voldemort, Harry was a half-blood and he saw him as more of a threat.

Draco Malfoy is not the chosen one, Harry Potter is given that name.

Lord Voldemort chose Draco Malfoy to kill Albus Dumbledore. Voldemort never expected him to succeed and was doing it only to further punish the Malfoy family by making their son do something seemingly impossible.

Yes, he fit the profile. However, the prophecy said that Voldemort would mark the boy as his equal (something Voldemort didn't know) and by attempting to kill Harry, he made Harry the chosen one over Neville.

The prophecy could originally refer to either Neville or Harry. However, Lord Voldemort decided that it referred to Harry. In so deciding, Harry became the Chosen One.

Why is it said that Voldemort could have used Neville to ressurrect himself?

It is not about Voldemort using Neville to resurrect himself, but it is said that he could have chosen Neville as his enemy. And in that case he would have been the "Chosen one" instead of Harry. It is said so because according to a prophecy, Voldemort's enemy will be born in July and to parents who'd disobey the Dark Lord thrice and both, Harry and Neville fall into the criteria. So it was a possibility that Neville would have been the chosen one.


Does Neville longbottom get a girlfriend?

The story never states that Neville gets a girlfriend. However, in the movie Neville and Luna do seem to have a bit of a relationship, or at least the beginnings of one. But there is a show or short documentary or something called The Life of J.K. Rowling I believe. It states what becomes of some of the characters in J.K. Rowling's mind.
