There are a couple of threads that have discussed this - or aspects of
it anyway.
79273 on why the Ministry may treat them the way they do,
79180 on prophets and prophecies (in HP and elsewhere) 

Always happy to hear different ideas ffrom other posters of course.
Come to think of it, posts that Prophecy have been infrequent  lately.
It's due for a revival.
