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.

*****************************************************************
Just to add a bit of perspective on this.  Last year, I knew of 4 
couples who became pregnant only a month apart from
each other.  2 of my friends discovered they were to have 
babies.  My husband and I became #3 and my hubby's aunt was #4.
That's 4 babies with only 1 month and just a day or 2 apart from 
each other.  We were the ONLY couple who actually decided to have
a baby on purpose.  

Even if the Potters and Longbottoms had actually decided to have 
a baby at the same time, there is no guarantee that it's going to happen!
Some people try for a very long time to have babies with no success.  
Even if you take fertility drugs, or Invetro Fertilization, it doesn't mean 
that you will be pregnant!  (And as I said 2 of my friends became 
pregnant within a month and they were in no way trying!)  It is
odd however that the prophecy was made and just happened to be
about a baby born at this time!  But I don't see how the could be sure
to have a baby "as the seventh month dies"!  Even if the WW has 
some type of fertility spell or something, is it possible to control the 
date that labor starts or the length of time??  Can the prevent 
prematurity?  Can they control over due babies, kind of like a 
WW version of pictocin (the synthetic form of ocitocen produced
naturally in the body of a pregnant woman and when reaches 
a certain level triggers labor)?  

If it is possible for the WW to more defiantly control reproduction than
here in the RW, then I suppose it could be part of some master plan
to defeat Voldemort.  But still I have a problem with that.  I even before
my daughter was born never wanted to place limitations, or expectations
upon her.  All I wanted was for her to be healthy and happy, and 
for her to have the opportunity to be the best person she wants to be.  
>From Harry's memory of her, trying to protect him, she sounds very much
that sort of mother as well, I don't see Lily like some one who has 
a baby to get what she wants out of it.  Also, how could they control
Voldemort marking one of the boy's as an equal???
