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.
