Julian calendar, when September was the 7th month.) However, other 
posters and I don't think the prophecy refers to her because her 
parents are muggles (unless she was adopted, and we have absolutely 
no evidence of that anywhere), plus the prophecy refers to the One 
as "he," implying male. It may just be a generalization, 
like "mankind," but I don't think so.

Bookworm:
It also says the One will be born to those who "thrice defied" the 
Dark Lord.  I don't see how a couple of Muggle dentists could have 
done that.
