I was thinking Matrix, as well. "Knowing the path and walking the
path are not the same thing" (I'm sure I flubbed the quote, too).
I might point out that Harry has steadily made choices that have put
him on the path to "stop" Voldemort. MAGIC DISHWASHER, of course
created many opportunities for Harry to make those choices and pick
up skills along the way.
Considering LV's history, the only way he will stop, is if he is well
and truly dead. We don't need a prophecy to figure that one out -
with LV, it's kill or be killed and since he wants to kill Harry...
What will be interesting is how Harry deals with the idea that only
he has the power to put an end to LV.
