Aggie now:
I'm with you two! I didn't think that James, Lily, Frank, Alice etc
knew about the prophecy. It's not mentioned either way in canon (is
it?). It was my understanding that only DD, the eavesdropper and
then consequently, LV knew. Not sure where I got this idea from but
it's good to know that I'm not the only one!
It is possible that Neville knows more than he's telling as he does
tend to keep his cards close to his chest. I'm sure he will play a
VERY significant role in the next two books.
