Did you know that September is "the seventh month"?<<


>>Inge:
"In the very old days the year calender was different and September 
was in fact the 7th month. The last 4 months of the year have all 
been named after a number as in
Sept = 7
Oct  = 8
Nov  = 9
Dec  =10"<<

>>DuffyPoo:
Interesting.  Is this pointing, RM McDougal, to the possiblity that 
Hermione may fulfill the prophecy?  The problem comes in with the 
Prophecy: 'and the Dark Lord will mark *him* as his equal, but *he* 
will have powers the Dark Lord knows not.'  So, unless the prophecy 
is even less specific that we have already been led to believe, can 
this part be fulfilled by a girl?<<


Inge again:
I do not for a second believe that Hermione is the one to fulfill the 
prophecy. For several reasons:

1) September being the 7th month was too long ago to have any meaning 
anymore. And even *if*.... Hermione is born on the 19th which is not 
at the end of the month.

2) The prophecy doesn't refer directly to a *she*.

3) There is no canon at all to support Hermiones parents to have been 
in a fight with Voldemort ever - nor that they would have defied him 
even once.
