discovering it slowly and gradually. His comments about the
hippogriff in his divination exam were throw away phrases, sure, but
I think they indicate that he does possess some ability to see the
future but doesn't recognize it as such. He sees more than he
realizes that he sees, in other words. He forgets his dreams; he
looks so hard at the crystal that he doesn't recognize the things
that he does see for what they are. "

ha all we're doing is revising for exams...sigh). Anyways-
Steve's post has put this into my head and I've got to share and see
what everyone else thinks...
If Harry is a seer and not Ron, as some have proposed, then is it
possible that Harry's "special-ness" comes from that ablility?
Instead of it being prophesised that Harry will defeat Voldemort
could it be that he, and he alone, will be able to know HOW to defeat
V? Maybe it was prophesised that Harry would be able to tell who
could defeat Voldemort or something similar?
Harry might not be directly important in the ultimate defeat of V,
but that defeat might be impossible without him. Does this make
sense? This really opens up a plethora of possiblities, and even
though there's not much canonical evidence for it...well what do you
think?
