Well, the books will stand on their own.  As books 6 and 7 have yet
to
come out, we are all SPECULATING about what will happen.
I am anticipating that Hermione Granger is the subject of the
prophecy
and I believe Jo Rowling will show us exactly that when she finishes
the books.
Are you begrudging Jo the opportunity to give us hints and such to
what is going on and what is to happen?"

RMM, I like reading your posts; I have a pretty open mind and even
considered that you might be right about Hermoine.  After reading the JKR
transcript today, I'm less inclined to think that Hermoine is the "who" in
the prophecy simply because of this:

"Who was the first character that you invented?

Harry. He really is the whole story. The whole plot is contained in Harry
Potter; his past, present and future-that is the story. Harry came to me
first and everything radiated out from him. I gave him his parents, then his
past, then Hogwarts, and the wizarding world got bigger and bigger. He was
the starting point."

Harry "really" is the whole story - so I think that makes your theory, while
still feasible, less likely to happen.

charme, who wishes someone would get a ladder for me because climbing back
and forth over this Hermoine fence is hell on my knees :)
