I reply:

Yes, I DID read it, thank you. I think I may have
worded my question in 
an 
ambiguous manner, however. What I meant to simply ask
is that if Lucius 
and the 
DE knew that Harry was the only one who could could
touch the prophecy 
without 
doing mad, then why did they let him even get near it?
They knew he was 
coming, which is why they were already there, waiting
to ambush him. I 
just was 
thinking that to avoid the risk of Harry picking up
the prophecy and 
smashing 
it/running away with it, he would have just stepped in
and stopped 
Harry before 
Harry got a chance to grab it. I will just assume it
was bad timing on 
the part 
of the DEs and let it go at that. They were waiting to
attack him, but 
they 
didn't forsee him picking up his sphere, thus risking
all the work they 
have 
done. It doesn't seem plausible, but I suppose I will
buy it anyway.

gay/not gay 
thread)




 The whole purpose was to have Harry lift it from its
storage then take it from him. Only Harry or Voldemort
could lift it without going mad. Once picked up anyone
could then touch it. V didn't want to take a chance on
being discovered so he tricked Harry into doing the deed.
