This theory doesn't hold water for me. Harry may be the only one with
the power to overcome LV, but I don't think that necessarily makes him
invincible to any other way to die; why would DD (who knows the
prophecy as well as a bunch of other stuff) bother to slow Harry down
before he hits the ground in PoA? I think this group has reasonably
established that wizards are not subject to many of the same dangers
as Muggles (ie Neville bouncing when he fell out the window), but I
don't think Harry is invincible.


vmonte responds:
I completely agree with you. Harry is not invincible, he has a lot of 
people looking after him. If he was invincible the Order would not 
have to protect him at all.  All they would have to do is keep 
Voldemort away from him. 

(By the way, my personal feeling about the prophecy is that it is a 
hoax, a diversion, created by someone to keep Voldemort busy and 
distracted from conquering the WW.  Is Trelawny really a seer? Or is 
someone using her as a conduit? Is this person trying to occupy both 
the DEs and the Orders time? I'm completely guessing here. It's just 
that I really have something against the prophecy. It goes against 
everything the books are about. Where is choice and free will?  If 
Voldemort had ignored the prophecy in the first place he probably 
would have been better off? (It's like people who cannot start their 
morning without reading their horoscope in the paper? I mean come on! 
Just look how general and nondescript those horoscope readings are.)  
My guess as to why DD did not want to have Divination taught in 
school is because it takes away choice, peoples free will.  It's like 
the Mirror of Erised -- "...this mirror will give us neither 
knowledge or truth. Men have wasted away before it, entranced by what 
they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is 
real or even possible... It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget 
to live, remember that."  (page 213,214, U.S.)
