attack Harry will appear significant later on.  Most of the DA's 
were names in the background before, but now they are becoming 
more prominent.

I think that's a really interesting interpretation -- the "one" 
could be the single, unified Hogwarts that the sorting hat was 
advocating, for example.

The only problem is - what does "born as the seventh month dies" 
refer to if not Harry and how can the "him" pronoun fit in?
