"Why did Voldemort pick Harry and not Neville?
JK Rowling replies -> Dumbledore explains this in 'Order of the 
Phoenix'. Voldemort identified more with the half-blood boy and 
therefore decided he must be the greater risk."

"That's not JKR saying that Harry's 'The One' - just reiterating 
*Dumbledore's* belief! Knowing how 'cunning' she can be, this could 
still be a trick answer!"

Meidbh responds;

Aaaaagh - no - don't say that - theory quicksand threatens again! :-)
I did think of that actually but she does sound quite clear and 
definite here. No sense of coyness or dodging the question. No "VMs 
given DD his story and DD believes him" type stuff. 
I'm going to trust her on this one. 

And maybe it's not so terribly important to the 'who has the power 
to vanquish VM' question because all it really tells us is VM 
thought Harry was a greater risk. VM could have been wrong...

I guess I hoped this quote would resolve the debate on VMs 
motivations that night and let it roll back onto the questions that 
might tell us what the future holds. (How naive to underestimate 
HPFGUs love of a good debate though <g>)

IMVVHO the Prophecy question whose answer will really tell us what 
is going to happen next is

***Has VM marked anyone as his equal yet?***
