I have got it!!!  I have it ... I have it!!!!

Maybe I will get a promotion to MoM!!!

I just occured to me, reading the prophecy for the 999th time.
Drum roll...

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born
to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month
dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal but he will have
power the Dark Lord knows not.. and either must die at the hand of
the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one
with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh
month dies..."

Think of this like the riddle of the Sphinx. *Riddle*, get it?? It 
does NOT say LV. It says DL.  Think of the DL as something different 
than Tom or LV and you have it. (See DL post in my ramblings in post 
Message # 130215)

The DL is *Death* or the power of death. It is bond to Tom when Tom 
becomes LV. The neither can live is Tom and Harry. But the one with 
the power is Harry. The DL is death. Thrice defied him might mean 
that the parents of both Harry and Neville have survived a near 
death 3 times. 

It follows that when Harry defeats *Death*, both he and Tom will be 
free. And this fits with Harry being a Christ symbol, because it is 
Christ that defeats the powers of death.
