First of all, this is a great group. This is a newbie's first 
post here. Please be kind in the criticisms. :)

One addition that I would like to point out to the July stuff
is the time-lag. SPTrelawney makes her prediction slightly 
prior to Harry being born (from the amount of time she's 
been at Hogwarts and Harry's age). Some minion of Voldemort's
listens to a part of this prophecy - however Voldemort 
finally does the attack nearly an year after Harry's birth, since
Harry is supposed to be a 1-year-old when Voldemort makes it to
Godric's Hollow. 

So, we still have some backstory that will be forthcoming (I think)
on what happened from the time that the prophecy was made, to the
time that Voldy finally gets unlucky! 

(Or is it that it took him that long to find the Potters?!)
