Of course, we can.

Alla:

Not for me. During the 1941-1945 war quite a few people who became 
involved during the combat actions (like soldiers and nurses, since 
women did not have to serve an active duty) had children despite all 
inconveniences it could cost.

Well, share please, because I don't have any. :)

I disagree, because as I said previously I have astrong doubt that 
Dumbledore correctly interpreted the Prophecy and that is why I feel 
that Harry had and will have mich more choices in the matter than we 
think.

Dumbledore cannot be always right, he just can't :o) He pretty much 
acknowledged it at the end of OOP  and I think that at the end of the 
series if he is still alive , he will be in for another rude 
awakening :o)

Do you remember Firenze's divination lesson and the main idea Harry 
took from it that humans interpretation of divination teachings is 
very often incorrect or something to that effect ?

I believe that to be one of the hints that the final events may not 
happen exactly how Dumbledore thinks they will, that is why I believe 
that the idea of designing a weapon prior to his birth is very much 
against of the theme of choices.

But of course, there is nothing in canon which squashes this theory 
yet.
