Well, her second prophecy about Voldemorts return was proven 
absolutely right afterwards. And she said the OOTP prediction in 
exactly the same voice, so I think it is a real prediction. That 
doesn't mean, that I think it will happen this way. IMO, there is 
somehole a loophole, and it has probably something to do with 
Neville. But nonetheless the pophecy is IMO accurate.
