Hi, you posted about this before I did, but I read your post after I 
made a post.  Can't believe no one else saw this today!  And I 
caught it as the 29th day died!(2330)

Being of a similar mind as JKR as to numbers...I always took "as the 
7th month dies" to mean at the end of the month, which to me is 
anytime during the last few days. I would think most people take it 
to mean the very last day.  Perhaps LV thought Harry was the more 
likely candidate because his birthday was on  the very last day.
