I have to wonder what will happen if Harry chooses _not_ to accept the terms of the 
prophecy.  Normally this wouldn't seem like an option (because to 
paraphrase Cpt Jack Sparrow, prophecy!), but one of the major themes of 
this series so far has been the notion that everyone has power over their 
own fate.  Choice is stressed, over and over and over, as being the most 
important thing.  So it seems fishy to me that suddenly this prophecy pops 
up that locks Harry into one path..."kill Voldemort or be killed by him," 
which is what the prophecy is saying, on the surface.  

 

Kelly:

Hmmm, interesting, but I'm not sure if it is really an option for Harry at this point.  Suppose Harry chooses to ignore the prophecy and not go after LV.  That does not mean LV will not go after him.  IMHO, both Harry and LV would have to choose to ignore the prophecy and that does not seem likely.
