sorry for not keeping the names) wanted to add Peter Pettigrew to the 
prophecy scenario. [Probably because I only read PoA once and didn't 
have a lot of time to think about him because I jumped to GoF right 
away]. But then again, they might as well be right, considering DD's statement "the time may come when you will be very glad you saved 
Pettigrew's life." <<<

I think the reason is in the phrasing of the prophecy.."one will die 
at the hand of the other" When V-mort returns in GoF, he gives 
Pettigrew a new hand and it has been discussed as being "the hand of 
the other"

BINGO! You have just given me insight into why I feel exactly the 
opposite about OoP (don't get me wrong, I still like it)...I thought 
Empire Strikes Back was the weakest of the trilogy, though not 
horrible by any stretch of the imagination...exactly how I feel 
about OoP
