You seem to be misunderstanding the question.  I'm not asking what the
owner of /home/neil/.htpasswd is, I'm asking you if the webserver
account can access it.  (ie are the directory perms and the file perms
granting sufficient access?)

try something like:

# su - nobody -c '/bin/cat /home/neil/.htpasswd'

Where nobody is the username apache runs under.
