Del replies :
That could very well be. I haven't read every post, far from it. In
fact, it is more than probable that somebody already had such an idea.
I do solemny swear, though, that I personally never read that idea before.

But even if it was published before, we can still give it another try,
right :-) ?

Two young couples who are in love may not consider the practical 
consequences of their decision to have children at war time."

Del replies :
One couple, I could understand, but both of them seems a bit too much
for me. Especially in the case of the Longbottoms : there were Aurors,
after all, they had a duty to their country. Alice becoming
unavailable for reason of pregnancy was not the best way to fulfill
that duty IMO, especially since there seems to have been quite a
shortage of good guys at the time.

"If they did not hear the Prophecy yet prior to conceiving Harry and 
Neville, why did they decide to make children weaons, why not train 
any of the adults to do so?"

Del replies :
There could be a number of reasons for that. The most obvious for me
would be that DD had somehow determined that there wasn't anyone on
Earth who could defeat LV. LV wasn't just a wizard anymore. He had
become immortal, among other things.

"What are you saying? That the Prohecy was really given earlier than 2
 months prior to children's birth? I am confused."

Del replies :
What I meant is that maybe the Order *hoped* for some sign that their
plan had worked. So maybe when they heard about the Prophecy, they
weren't surprised because they expected something like that.

"Right, but how would they know that the child will be "perfect 
weapon"? Which conditions were needed to be fulfilled for that?"

Del replies :
I have a few ideas about that, but I welcome any input from other posters.

Del replies :
But this is *already* the case ! Harry was designed as LV's vanquisher
before he was even born ! He NEVER had a choice in the matter.

The only difference with this theory is that Harry did not become the
Hero by accident. It's not the Fates who woke up one day and decided
that to-be-born!Harry would be the Vanquisher. It was the Order.
