Megan Writes:

If I remember correctly, I thought the reason why no one else could
not pick up the prophecy is because their name was not on it. The 
only people who can pick up their prophecies from the DoM are those 
with their names on it. Obviously, LV could not pick it up, as Bellatrix
stated, since he was wanted by the DoM even though they were "sweetly 
ignoring his return." If I remember correctly, also, DD said that 
Harry's name was added to the prophacy AFTER the attack at GH. That
is one reason why the (?) was beside his name. The DoM was not SURE 
if this is what the prophacy meant but since LV chose to "mark" Harry,
he is the obvious person the prophacy is talking about.

not include wands or spells* :-D
