Yes, Snape does project like mad onto Harry, classic denial
behavior, and his potential to devastate the order is very great
because of his double agent role. But could you explain what you
mean about the prophecy being about Snape?

vmonte responds:

I'm talking about the scene in PoA when Trelawny, while in a trance, 
tells Harry about the servant that will return to the dark 
lord...help him rise to power, blah, blah, blah.

If you mean that Neville will help Harry in some crucial way when it
comes time to vanquish Voldything, I agree. I picture something
like the moment in the Return of the King when Sam says, "I can't
carry it for you, but I can carry you." Similarly, Neville cannot
do the deed -- only Harry can, but he will get an assist at a
critical time from Neville, an assist that may come at the very
climax.

Yes, I agree with you, Harry will eventually do the deed. 

But, perhaps the prophecy is so vague (at present) because both 
children (at this moment) have the potential to vanquish LV (perhaps 
the prophecy is so annoyingly vague because the end has not yet been 
determined. Maybe there is a variable that is in flux (in 
undetermined mode) right now. I'm not even sure I'm making sense. 

Maybe something will happen in the future that will finally determine 
Harry as the one, and Trelawny will once again go in a trance with an 
updated version of prophecy 1.
