Melinda, I agree that Harry will most likely tell Ron and Hermione 
eventually about the prophesy. This does involve a lot of "ifs", but 
I think they are very possible. I believe that there is a great 
chance of Ron going over to the dark side, one of the main points 
often made is his jelousy towards Harry for his popularity and it 
seems as if he would do anything to gain it, especially when he gets 
a little older. There is a bunch of evidence for this that Im sure 
has been posted earlier, if anyone would like to search for it if 
they are not sure about this theory. But if Harry ever tells Ron, 
then Ron goes over to the dark side, he would most likely tell 
Voldemort, and what a drastic change that would make in the series, 
correct? I dont remember the prophesy perfectly well, but wouldnt 
that practically get Harry killed? Either JK Rowling would come up 
with a really good twist where Harry gets out of it, or Harry gets 
killed, which JK says is NOT impossible. But, I doubt she would kill 
him off in the end so the possibility of Ron going over to the dark 
side goes down drastically, especially if she ever says if Harry 
dies or not, which I doubt will happen, at least for me that is.

(Sorry if my theory is messed up as I dont remember the prophesy 
very well, and I dont have my book right now.)
