>>>>Yes, Harry was the one that V. really REALLY wanted to kill. He
wanted to kill James, it seems, but the whole goal was to kill Harry,
so most of us assume someone foretold something about Harry either just
after or just before his birth.<<<<

Perhaps this was Professor Trelawney's first accurate prediction
(Voldemort's return was her second). I've been thinking a lot about
Trelawney. JKR seems to have quite a contempt for divination in all forms,
and uses it to make fun of Trelawney and her classes. But Trelawney is
the female Professor that we know best, or at least we THINK we know
her. She seems to have more of a presence even than McGonnagal at times.
Just WHO OR WHAT IS IT that took over her body in PoA and pronounced
the second prophecy that came true? It had to come from somewhere, since
it was obviously a completely different thing than her usual vapors in
class. I'm keeping my Magic Eye on that woman.
