Me write:

He doesn't know how powerful Harry will be just that
he will be powerful enough to kill him. And nowhere in
the prophecy does it say that V. deliberately marks
harry as his equal. He couldn't kill Harry when he was
a baby because they are not equal yet. Harry has a
protection that V does not and V has powers Harry does
not.

Me write:

I agree with you only this much: V completed marking
Harry as his equal in the graveyard, but not because
he agreed to duel with him. He dueled with him to show
his Death Eaters, who probably know the prophecy as
much as V does (I think) by the way, that he can
conquer Harry. He completed marking Harry as his equal
when he took, and forcibly at that Harry didn't mark
himself, Harry's protection by cutting him. 

Also another point is that we know that Harry and
Wormtail is connected because Harry saved Wormtail's
life. Now, because V used Wormtail's flesh and Harry's
blood, he too is connected to Wormtail, though he
knows this not. 


I can't remember who, but somebody said that Harry is
not equal to V by knowledge and that since knowledge
can't be transferred Harry will never be equal to V
therefore the prophecy is not true. I think, if you
are waiting for exact equalness after knowledge and
health and appearence there is chatacter and age and
all sorts of things. I think they are as equal as
anyone can be to anyone else. I think because the
prophecy is all about power and who has it, equalness
should be searched in power equalness and not much
else. Before you ask let me answer, yes I think the
protection Harry has is a power, a power that protects
him. 


Thank you for reading.
