"If you look at Trelawney's second prophecy 
...
The Dark Lord lies alone and friendless, abandoned by his followers. 
His servant has been chained these twelve years. Tonight, before 
midnight
the servant will break free and set out (set out) to rejoin 
his master. The Dark Lord will rise again with his servant's aid, 
greater and more terrible than ever he was. Tonight
before midnight 

the servant
will set out
to rejoin
his master
" 
... 
Why all the breaks in the last sentence?" 


Meidbh:
Hi Snow,
I assumed the breaks were just dramatic effect, repetition of key 
point, breaking up the sentence to emphasise that this message is 
coming from far
far
away
 aaand

 ouuuuuut


And for the first prophecy...
I said it before but the logic and grammar are only correct for two 
people /personae /entities in the prophecy. For three it just 
doesn't work! (The post is 108241).  

Meidbh :-)
