Actually I vaguely remember at least one similar prediction here in
HPfGU, although I can't remember by whom, and I can't find the post.
Does anyone know what it was?
However, merely Voldy hiding his soul (or his heart or whatever)
outside his body doesn't strike me as a great prediction in itself,
since this is a common plot device in fairytale and myth. If somebody
actually predicted that Voldy had several of those soul containers,
and that the diary was one of them, now this would be a very serious
contender.
Personally I'm impressed by predictions done using the power of
deduction, rather than some lucky shot. For example, before HBP we
argued endlessly about how Snape convinced Voldemort to take him back
as a double agent (I was completely off the track myself I thought
only some magic could explain it). I think it was Steve (bboyminn)
who deduced that the only way Voldy would take Snape back is if it
was Voldy who sent Snape as a spy to Dumbledore in the first place.
But my memory might be failing me and I can't locate the specific
post. Steve, if you're reading this, do I remember correctly?
