Pippin:
 
I *think* what Lupinlore is saying is that if Harry and Voldemort 
cannot avoid the intersection of their fates no matter how vaguely 
this is foretold, then their ability to affect their future by their 
choices is limited. Neither Voldemort nor Harry (if the prophecy 
refers to them) can save themselves from the confrontation to 
come by deciding to become a shoe salesman in 
Poughkeepsie.

This would contradict the message that we can choose to be 
what we wish. However, I wonder if this is Rowling's message. 
IMO, the books say that our choices show what we are and make 
us different from one another, but where do they say that we are 
whatever we choose to be?   

Dumbledore warns  that many of the things people wish for are 
not real or possible. He also says that Kreacher is what wizards 
have made him, with the implication that Kreacher is not what he 
chose to be.
