Agreed.  I went back to GOF to see what she had said. Nothing.  I 
think in the end Harry ends up with Ginny W. So, don't quite 
understand Cho's role, other than maybe we are seeing HP grow up.

I read it to mean that she just took to repeating herself.  (Not 
unheard of behavior from Trelawny.)

I think the "weapon" wasn't the prophecy as much as whatever 
Dumbledore was talking about in the end that Harry possesses more of 
than anybody else--the Old-Fashioned wizardry that LV puts no stock 
in.  A room devoted to "love"?  That's why LV had to leave HP at the 
end--HP started thinking about Sirius.  

As I said in another post, I'm new here--so please excuse if I am 
missing some forum ettiquette.  Just my (possibly incorrect) thoughts.
