You know, I really like this theory. What's confusing me is, why is 
the Order trying to stop Voldie at all costs from getting the 
prophecy? The only new thing is, that Harry will have powers Voldie 
will never have and that one of them will have to die. Well, that 
doesn't change much for Voldie (though it does for Harry), he wants 
Harry dead anyway, always did so. I understand Voldie doesn't want to 
risk going in the MoM, so he made Harry go, but...(trying to sort my 
tangled thoughts) did he realy beliee Harry was going to give that 
prophecy to the DE just because they asked him nicely:), or because 
they threatened him? Voldie should know Harry well enough now, to 
know that things with Harry never work out the way he wants. He keeps 
underestimating Harry's powers all along the line. 
And why - in the name of whatever - does he keep sending his DE's to 
manage things for him that are of such high importance as they seem 
to be failing A LOT?
