sad1199 again: 

My point was that while teaching Harry at school Trelawney says that 
she thinks he is born in mid-winter (under Saturn). But she made the 
prophecy about a boy born in the last days of July and then Harry 
bounced Voldemort's curse back at him. She, being a person of 
knowledge, should be able to dedeuce that Harry was the boy from the 
prophecy and know that he was born in July. And wasn't there 
something about Dumbledore letting her live at Hogwarts because she 
made the prophecy? So, it would seem that Dumbledore would have at 
least told her what she prophecized...

happy, caring, loving   sad1199  p.s. sorry for no snipping
