I was under the impression that the weapon was knowledge (in this case, the 
knowledge of what's in the prophecy), yet I've read a couple posts today 
referring to Harry as the weapon.  What's the general consensus on this?  Or does 
everyone disagree?  I believed the weapon to be knowledge based on two parts of 
the book:

1) ch 37 when DD says to Harry "This is the weapon he has been seeking so 
assiduously since his return: the knowledge of how to destroy you."

and 

2) ch 24 in Occlumency lessons with Snape, Snape says "You are not trying, 
you are making no effort, you are allowing me access to memories you fear, 
handing me weapons!"

Agree? Disagree?
