Ah, interesting! I was under the impression that Podmore was somehow trying 
to steal it for the DE, not destroy it for the OoP. I am afraid that a lot of 
my rather stupid misconceptions come from the fact that I read the book in such 
a hurried frenzy. I must read it again (right now I am reading SS/PS, 
starting the whole series over), slower this time. So I wonder, does every living 
person have a "prophecy sphere"? Was the prophecy room left intact enough for 
anyone else to be able to go into it and see their own prophecy? Eh, that's a 
whole other mess in itself, I suppose.
