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.

Geoff:
Back to canon yet again......

"'Dumbledore never told you?'Malfoy repeated. 'Well, this explains
why you didn't come earlier, Potter, the Dark Lord wondered why - '
'- when I say now -'
'- you didn't come running when he showed you the place where it was
hidden in your dreams. He thought natural curiosity would make you
want to hear the exact wording.....'
'Did he?' said Harry. Beind him, he felt rather than heard Hermione
passing his message to the others and he sought to keep talking to
distract the Death Eaters. 'So, he wanted me to come and get it, did
he? Why?'
'Why?' Malfoy sounded incredulously delighted. 'Because the only
people who are permitted to retrieve a prophecy from the Department
of Mysteries, Potter, are those about whom it was made, as the Dark
Lord discovered when he attempted to use others to steal it for him.'
'And why did he want to steal a prophecy about me?'
'About both of you, Potter, about both of you.... haven't you ever
wondered why the Dark lord tried to kill you as a baby?'"

vmonte responds to Geoff:
Thanks for the quote. It reads as though only Harry and Voldemort can 
touch the prophecy, at least per Malfoy (this is what I thought). But 
since Neville was able to touch the prophecy then it makes sense that 
the prophecy is about him as well....right? (Sorry, but I really 
hated this scene, it was rather anticlimactic for me.)
