Aha, and adding and he is a Griffindor, a Leo (31st July), he is given a 
legendary sword in order to beat a legendary monster, we knew there was 
a previous phrophecy from Trelanwney, he did powerful spontaneus magic, 
he had an extraordinary upbringing (as Neville), the Shat said he would 
do well in four houses, and more clues I don't remember right know...

I used it to deduct Harry was 'the one', with all those clues together, 
it was clear as cristal (for me) that Harry fulfilled the role of a 
hero, so he was 'the one', wich was the simplest explanation, but I 
didn't like it, btw, I expect Jo to surprise me.

Given there is 'something that is the heart of it all', I hope the 
phrophecy is not so dull and has a hidden meaning, but I was quite glad 
whe Neville turned out to be important.
