What if he's just stumbling along matching up reality with 
Trelawney's 1st prediction without really knowing *how* all this 
destroys LV or saves the WW? Imagine his shock when he sees that he 
has destroyed the WW! We always assume DD knows all, but it's quite 
possible that he doesn't know exactly what's going to happen.

of the coded Book 7 predictions are, in fact, right in line with 
this. Good job,

Dot again:
I don't know... would it actually be useful? I was thinking 
primarily of the "What if, in the end, Harry has to ... to defeat 
Voldy" posts. (Which would mean no need for an End of Magic 
category, as they could all go in there.) Are there lots of these 
kinds of posts scattered around in different categories where they 
don't quite fit? If we really need it, I'd agree it should go in 
predictions, but do we really need it?
