Me: 1) Harry didn't even know what the grim was until it was pointed 
out to him in the bookstore; all he thought he saw was a dog. During 
class that was when Prof. Trewlawney pointed out the grim to him, but 
he knew what it was before then (pls correct me if I'm wrong & I will 
go back & reread PoA).

2) We all know (well I think we do) that the solstice can happen two 
times during the year, the summer solstice (June 21-longest day of 
the year) & the winter solstice (Dec. 21-shortest day of the year). 
Now after saying that I don't think JKR will have V's & HP's battle 
in Dec. unless of course the rest of the books deals with the 
aftermath of the battle. 
My thinking is that the final battle will happen on June 21 & that 
her final chapter will be an epilogue. In ref. to "at the soltice 
will come a new" I'm thinking (pls bear with me here) that that means 
the dawning of a new beginning in the wizarding world and "none will 
come after" means that there won't be another hero b/c there won't be 
a need for one – does that make sense. 

Then of course there's another thought - the broken prophecy may have 
nothing to do with HP.

I'm leaning towards Harry surviving while many of his friends die – 
then again that may just be wishful thinking.
