made it clear that it was labelled as such after the attack on Harry.

I agree my theory requires some cannon - sorry, canon - elasticity.  But when I read (pg 742 UK OoP) - 

'The official record was re-labelled after Voldemort's attack on you as a child,' said Dumbledore.  'It seemed plain to the keeper of the Hall of Prophecy that Voldemort could only have tried to kill you because he knew you to be the one to whom Sybill was referring.'

I can't help wondering if Professor McGonagall would consider the filing of prophecies just as imprecise as the study of them (pg 85 UK PoA).

'Then - it might not be me?' said Harry.

'I am afraid,' said Dumbledore slowly, looking as though every word cost him a great effort, 'that there is no doubt that it is you.'  

I'm afraid this "great effort" malarkey sits just as uncomfortably with me as his "twinkle" did in GoF.  It's gonna be a long wait for book 6!
