Finwitch: It could very well be exactly as the two were concieved -- 
at any case, I think we'll never know.

Wonder what was happening when Trelawney made her *second* prophecy, 
predicting (as it seems to be) the escape and intent of Wormtail. 
WHAT made that thing so certain at that time. Did Lupin mess with his 
Wolfsbane Potion?

As I see it, a true prophecy is triggered by an event which makes the 
content happen, no matter what. We know Harry had just said that 
Buckbeak would fly free, and INSISTED on it. I wonder - how did 
Trelawney rate Harry's prediction when Buckbeak escaped?

(Still, at OWLs, that PAST-prediction - IF the examiner had been in 
mortal danger that day - Harry may well have got a good mark!)
