"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...born 
to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month 
dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will 
have a power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the 
hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives..."

There's so much talk going on about the prophecy, I'm not sure if anyone 
thought about it in this way, but I'm going to throw in my two cents just for the 
fun of it. 

I think, it makes sense for the 'HIM' they're talking about in "born to those 
who have thrice defied him" to be Harry, because in that same sentence, 
they're talking about Harry. The one with the power to vanquish the dark lord 
[Harry], born to parents who have thrice defied him [Harry], born as the seventh 
month dies [Harry]...

It makes sense to me, but it doesn't hold with what DD tells Harry about the 
prophecy being about him or Neville b/c they were both born to parents who 
have 'thrice defied' Voldemort, I does make sense when you read the sentence, 
though. Harry was born to parents who thrice defied him.

Maybe Harry's parents were a bit shady.
