"The end of OotP where Harry sits 
alone by the lake suggests that he may well follow down this path. 
Harry doesn't share the details of his fate with Ron and Hermione, 
he has taken the burden on alone, which to me suggests he might 
carry it alone until the end of time."


DuffyPoo:
Harry hasn't told Ron and Hermione yet.  In a World Bookday Chat from March 2004, the question was asked: "Will Harry tell Neville about the Prophesy? to which JKR replied, "Harry will tell his nearest and dearest about the prophecy when he's ready. He needs time to digest the news himself first."


 Laurasia
"I don't want Harry to be alone for the rest of
his life."

DuffyPoo:
Which is why my vote is for someone else, other than HP, to be 'the one' in the prophecy.  Harry has put up with so much fame, notoriety, etc. already, I can just imagine what he would become if he then turned out to be the one who has to do the vanquishing of the Supreme Evil Power of the Universe, as well.  He would have to go into hiding, with ten Fidelius Charms in place.  But if someone like Neville, or Wormtail, or Derek were the one who had to finish off LV, HP would still be the hero of all he has so far accomplished, but 'the one' would be the hero of the vanquisment only, which would be quite enough, IMO.  They wouldn't have all the build up to deal with as well as the hero worship for the task.  Both HP and 'whoever' could go on living quite normal lives.
