Prophecies are difficult to read correctly except in hindsight. Harry 
defeated Voldemort in the first book of the series --was that 
fufilling the prophecy? What a fortunate coicidence, that HP fufills 
the prophecy in his first year at Hogworts and no more Voldemort ever 
again. Harry then defeated the Lord Voldemort diary in volume II --was 
that fufilling the prophecy --again?

The only thing the prophecy establishes conclusively is that DD, a 
wizard strong enough to effect the outcome of WWII, can't defeat Lord 
Voldemort for Harry this time. And if Love Conquers All, or at least 
Love Conquers Voldemort, Harry's hardly going to learn the Power of 
Love by grimly being reduced to an efficent Terminator-like killing 
machine. [Plus he'd become a one-dimensional bore]
