When Harry is trapped by Lucius Malfoy in the MoM (pg.709 U.K.
version)
'"No - get - off - me...Neville - catch it!"
Harry flung the prophecy across the floor, Neville span himself
around on his back and scooped the ball to his chest.'
At first, I thought, hey - here's a replacement seeker in Neville!
But then...
Broderick Bode was supposed to take the prophecy, but wound up in
St.Mungo's for his trouble -
(pg.516 U.K. version)'"Avery told me Bode would be able to remove
it" "Bode could never have taken it, Master ... Bode would have known
he could not"...'
and (pg.693 U.K. version)'"Because the only people who are permitted
to retrieve a prophecy from the Department of Mysteries, Potter, are
those about whom it was made, as the Dark Lord discovered when he
attempted to use others to steal it for him."..."So, he's got you
doing his dirty work for him, has he?" said Harry. "Like he tried to
get Sturgis to steal it - and Bode?"'
But what, then, are the Death Eaters doing, asking Harry to hand the
prophecy over? Presumably they wouldn't be able to 'retrieve the
prophecy' either...
Is the prophecy about Harry and Neville? Are they twins?
