Hi !  I'm new to the list and like someone else who's name escapes me at the
moment, I was a little frustrated in OoP by LV pouring the whole of his
energy into the pursuit of a prophesy.  True,  impartial knowledge of this
prophesy resulted in his downfall at the beginning of the series but it's
not clear in the canon that HE understands that - we as readers have the
advantage here.  But it did make me wonder since the recorded prophesy is
now lost to him, if he won't try to uncover what it said from it's original
source - Professor Trelawney. Given her eccentric ways, her reluctance to
socialize with her collegues(clouds her "inner eye), and her lack of actual
everyday ability (with two notable exceptions) it would be easy for a DE to
arrange a meeting with her outside Hogwarts for a personal reading of the ol
tea leaves.  I think she would find such a request flattering and would feel
reinforced in her belief that she DOES "See", even if no one else thinks so.
I believe this is a real point of vulnerability and as ST is out of the loop
as far as the struggle against LV is concerned, it probably hasn't occurred
to any of the order members to consider that LV still needs to know what the
prophecy actually said.  As far as my frustration goes, I think it just may
be a plot set-up for HBP.  Thoughts anyone?
