If you break up prophecy 2 at points where the grammar is flawed , it
reads 
thus;
 
Sentence 1 - The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord 
approaches... 
Sentence 2 - ........born to those who have thrice defied him, born as 
the seventh month dies... 
Sentence 3 - ...........and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, 
but he will have powers that the Dark Lord knows not... 
Sentence 4 -  ............and either must die at the hand of the other 
for neither can live while the other survives... 
Sentence 5 - the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be 
born as the seventh month dies...
As a teacher myself, let be very clear - JKR would not construct a 
paragraph that is so grammatically flawed. We HAVE NOT heard the whole 
prophecy!!

And dont forget....{sentence fragment}... jkr is a word trickster.
Pensieve is a play on pensive and sieve -- meaning memory filter.
We just don't know what has been filtered out.
