Umm, remember Harry predicting losing a bet.  While it was Bagman who
lost the bet, but on Harry.  So Death by decapitation, perhaps Nearly
Headless Nick (Dead and *almost* decapitated) will somehow help Harry
out in the end.  I mean Harry getting decapitated in the end it too
literal of a prediction, and the predictions in the Potterverse, you
tend to need to apply a more general intepretation of it.
