This has been preying on my mind and I would appreciate some input....
the prophecy can be interpreted in a couple of different ways: the
word "approaches" can be taken literally to mean that someone is
physically moving towards Dumbledore and Trelawney--who??? Could it
be the same person who overheard part of the prophecy and was thrown
out of the Hog's Head? Second, I am interested the word "born" which
has a few accepted different meanings and spellings, particularly the
meaning "to be brought to". Was someone brought to the Potters--
maybe it was Snape who was brought to the Potters (by his lover-was
it Dorcas--for shame my book is not near me-the one Voldy killed
personally). If interpreted that way, then the person who approached
Dumbledore and Trelawny that night holds the power to destroy
Voldemort, and would later be presented at the end of July to two
people who had thrice denied Voldemort, meaning it was another adult
(again, Snape?) and not an infant who was born. P.S. marking him as
equal may be a reference to the Dark Mark.... Am I way off base (be
careful, I frequently am) What do you think?
