prophesies refer in a way to Harry and the struggle against 
Voldemort.  I assumed that the fight in the Ministry of Magic was 
sometime near the end of June (possibly the solstice?) Maybe these 
fragments refer to the phoenix-Fawkes. Fawkes was reborn during 
Dumbledore's fight with Voldemort.  Perhaps this is Fawks' last 
rebirth.  Also, somehow, I think Harry is tied to the phoenix legend 
and  these lines refer to him as well.

I think it's likely they refer to Harry's struggle because JKR rarely 
puts stuff like this in her books for no reason.  Just because 
Harry's name wasn't on other balls doesn't mean they couldn't refer 
to him.  I think there might be many other prophesies about Harry in 
that room, but they weren't labeled as such because the ministry (or 
whoever labels them) didn't know to whom they pertained. When the DAs 
were walking down the isles, assorted balls glowed softly as they 
passed.  Harry's prophesy ball was also glowing when he reached it. 

Who knows maybe they just refer to the publishing of Book 7.
