Potioncat:
No it wouldn't change Harry's birthday, but if he has the qualities 
of a winter birthday because of Tom Riddle, Trelawney might 
interpret them as winter for Harry.

On the other hand, I found very old post but I don't remember who 
wrote it, and it was suggested that if Trelawney is Australian, a 
July birthday would be in winter.
