Kathryn:  Well here's what I'm thinking.  The prophecy
was given 16 years ago.  Harry and Neville are only
15.  This means it was given a full year before they
were born.  Did anyone else find it peculiar that the
2 possible children know each other, their parents
knew each other, and they were all in the Order of the
Phoenix?  Neville and Harry were not accidents.  I
think Dumbledore told them, "Look, Potters and
Longbottoms, you are the only couples that fit this
'defeated him thrice' thing.  You both need to try to
have kids at the end of next July.  If you don't, no
one will be able to defeat Voldemort."  But of course
Dumbledore would say it much more eloquently, but it
seems to fit.  

What does everyone else think?
