Personally I STILL think that the 7th month is July and that the prophecy is
about Harry.
While your theory is very intriguing there are just too many unknown
variables and leaps of faith that need to be taken.
Dumbledore is JKR's barometer. She's mentioned as much in her COS DVD
interview. Anytime she needs to impart a bit of knowledge to the masses she uses
Dumbledore (or Hermione.) She has him say in PS/SS (paraphased) that he while
he might not be able to answer everyone of Harry's questions, he will not lie.
As far as we can tell by canon he never has broken that promise. He might
have withheld information but he hasn't lied when asked a point blank question.
Dumbledore would know Latin. He would know Lily (and Peter's) birthdates yet he
says that while the prophecy could have been about Harry or Neville, it
ultimately became about Harry.
And I just can't see JKR pulling that kind of switcheroo at the end.
Melissa (who firmly believes that "Love" is the wonderful yet terrible thing
behind the locked door and that somehow IT will play a part in Voldemort's
defeat -- after all Dumbledore has also said that its something that LV doesn't
understand and always underestimates).
