>hey there.... I've been thinking about this since I read the Edin. Fest. 
Transcript....and I just wanted to point out something about the prophesy.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the prophesy had already been fullfilled....

The one with the power approaches.... Harry
Born to those who have trice defied him.......Lily and James
born as the seventh month dies.......31st July (sorry, don't buy the roman 
calendar stuff)

The dark lord will mark him as his equal....the AK curse

but he will have power the dark lord knows not....lily's love/protection...the 
rebounding of the curse

"and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the 
other survives..........Voldy does "die" at this point, in the sense that he cannot 
live while the other (harry) survives...........the only reason he doesn't die 
completely is that he has taken precautions to cheat death......we know he is 
afraid of death so has taken on some magic to prevent this.....


I'm not sure where this theory leaves the story to come, or even if it is at all 
valid, but I thought it may be another way of looking at it. If the prophecy has 
already been filled, then Harry doesn't have to deal with Voldy alone, which 
though a relief, would also be a total letdown. 

hmmmmm? any thoughts?
