Hmm, sorry no one answered your post.  But now there are lots of 
answers, and perhaps more questions.

Me:
There are lots of "if only" things that would have made the story 
different, or even not necessary.  We can only realize that 
hindsight is 20/20, but life must be lived forward.  Harry will have 
a tough time digesting his guilt over the upcoming summer!

As a loyal crew member of the USS SAD DENIAL, I find it very 
upsetting that DD didn't just tell Harry what V was up to, as soon 
as he figured it out.  Picture this:  Using all the information 
available to him, including Harry's dreams and reactions when they 
are together, DD figures out V's plan.  DD tells Harry what V is 
after and WHY the Occulemency lessons are so important.  He takes 
Harry into his office and shows him the contents of the prophecy via 
the pensieve.  Then they go together to the MoM and Destroy the 
dusty record!prophecy that is sitting on the shelf in the Department 
of Mysteries.  With this series of events we would have no need for 
a battle in the MoM, my Beloved Sirius would still be with us, Tom 
would be thwarted yet again ... but wait, now there is no story.  So 
I guess it couldn't have been written that way.

this weekend, and wonders if there is any chance it will be on the 
Left coast next year?
