Angie sticks her abnormally large nose in:
But Trelawney wasn't in a trance when she was making the statement 
that Harry was born in mid-winter or presumably, when the news spread 
about LV's downfall.  But then again, what everyone knew was that 
Harry was a infant on Halloween, whatever that year was.  Maybe they 
didn't know exactly how old, so I guess she could have thought he had 
been born the previous winter? I don't know that the wizarding world 
knew when his birthday was.
