The rule about Prophecy is not that only those concerned by it can 
*hold* it, it's that they are the only ones who can *pick it up* 
from the racks in the DoM. Once Harry picked it up, anyone could 
hold it, that's even why the DEs were there : to get the Prophecy 
straight from Harry's hands.

Really? I did not know that. I really need to read the MoM scene 
again. I thought that only the person that it was about could touch 
it. I figured that the DEs were just going to force Harry to bring 
the jar out to Voldemort. 

I still think that it's interesting that JKR only has Neville and 
Harry actually touching the prophecy. It seems unusual that this 
would have no significance. If it wasn't important why didn't the 
children pass the jar among themselves...curious.
