But it's also confusing me that according to Lucius(I think?) they 
lured Harry to the MoM because only the people about whom the 
prophecy was would be able to take it, and then LV shows up himself 
at the MoM minutes later!

And since LV didn't know the rest of the prophecy, for all he knows 
it could say, 'and the way to destroy this boy would be xyz' or 
something useful.

Laura again:
Agreed, but why would the OOP treat it as dangerous weapon??  
Dumbledore might not have told them exactly what the prophecy said, 
but I doubt he'd tell them, "Well make sure LV doesn't know what it 
says because its tells him how to kill Harry."  Because that's 
completely incorrect.  And how else would the Order know anything 
about the prophecy in the first place?

I don't know, I'm just thoroughly confused about it all.

OK, totally random tangent that's probably already been posted but I 
haven't read all 300 emails, so my apologies.  But I'm going to jump 
out and say right now that Harry is a Metamorphmagus.  Am I wrong?  
Most likely.  But I want to jump out with a theory, so here goes.

Metamorphmagi can change their appearance at will.  Has Harry ever 
done this before?  Yes- in PS/SS his hair grows back after a 
particularly rought time with Aunt Petunia's scissors.  And that, my 
friends, is the one piece of canon I'm resting this on.  The only 
other witch/wizard we've seen do anything to change their appearance 
(outside of the Animagi route) is Tonks.  Coincidence?  In JKR's 
world?  Yeah, right.  (sarcasm)

My apologies to anyone who might have already said this, I swear I 
didn't steal it (intetionally). =)
