Hello all,

I was just at JKR's website and have found out that Neville's 
Birthday is not the same day as Harry's.  I know that prophecy 
states "as the seventh month dies" and fortunately Harry's birthday 
is the last day of July.  Which is definitely as the seventh month 
dies.  Neville's birthday is near the end but not on the last day of 
the month.  I have given Neville's Birthday below the spoiler space 
in case anyone wants to find it for themselve on her website.  Does 
this mean that it could have been anyone whose parents defied 
Voldemort three times and was born after July 16th?  It seems to me 
that the definition of that portion of the prophecy is a little vague 
now.  Before it was obvious because the last day of the month is 
really when the month dies.  

What about the second prophecy made by Trelawney?  Does this mean 
that the "servant" that returns to Voldemort have to be Wormtail or 
can it be Crouch?  I don't have my book with me to double check the 
requirements in the second prophecy.
