Oh, Neville, absolutely! I can see why Slughorn didn't pick him - Neville is shy and quiet and other than his well-known parents (which people don't bring up for fear of making things uncomfortable), likely had no other notorious relatives. Slughorn wouldn't notice him and Neville wouldn't seek him out. Neville's strength of character and determination is something that manifested quietly for a long time - what was a big step for Neville was often a small step for other people. I think that Neville made an incredible transformation and I do think he was unique and important enough to make the Slug Club. I just don't think it ever occured to Slughorn OR Neville!
