It's a funny thing.  I was trying to peruse _Ultimate Unofficial 
Guide to the Mysteries of Harry Potter_ by Galadriel Waters/ Astre 
Mithrandir in a bookstore a couple of hours ago to see if it was of 
use, and glanced at the GOF section where Mme Trewlawney says to 
Harry that he was born in midwinter, is she right?  No, says Harry, I 
was born in July.  Ha ha.  Yes, when we first read it.  But now after 
reading your theory last night, I wondered at the guide's note 
questioning that section (was Harry really born in July as he 
thinks?)...

Look what you did!  >:]
