Though this theory is interesting, I think it would be out of 
character for JKR to write something so convoluted. While we love to 
develop complicated theories, the reality is usually relatively 
simple once she lets us see it. A seventh month/seventh month 
switcheroo with three prophecy subjects and a Bad Guy-killing hero 
other than Harry? Less simple. And don't forget that this is a 
children's book - kids have much less patience than we do for plot 
points that require miles of explanation before they become 
plausible.

By making tertiary characters the actual focus of the climax, a 
great deal of Harry's life at Hogwarts becomes filler. If Lily's 
sacrifice and Peter's debt were actually all that was needed, what 
was the point of the first three books in the series? I contend that 
the Harry/Voldemort confrontation has been built up too much in 
canon for it to turn out that the prophecy has nothing to do with 
him *and* the final victory will not be his.
