<sings> Fairy Tales, Can come true, it can happen to you...if your a 
little kid..thats got an evil wizard after you....
I feel a song parody coming on..urg..Needs all the words to this 
song. (haha)

Ok, for my real though,

I personally, hope, that the whole prophecy thing will, shrink up 
and die like a old prune. But, I'm not writing the story, so, meh, I 
personally hope that yes, that prophecies can be thwarted. Meh, but 
probably not in this case, since, its taken on such an importaints 
in the story.

I sorta hoped that the big weapon that Voldemort was trying to get 
out of the Ministry was really something a little more..interesting, 
instead of a glowing orb of what someone said might happen later.

Ok, so it furthers the plot, and lets us know How Voldie knew about 
Harry, because someone overheard part of prophecy, and told him, so, 
now we know how old Voldifellow's knew about Harry...Yay! Plot  
Continuation Assured..Yay! Fan's Cheer, Snape screams, Dumbledore 
Ponders,McGonagall tears up and tries to actually look caring and 
nice, Hagrid giggles, aww a little baby, can't we keep him....ok.

So, either its a really nifty plot device, or, its all fire 
spectacularly importaint.....If I had been in there, I'd have wiped 
out all the prophecies, laughed evily..Muwhahaha...Now all of you 
are on your own, SUCKERS!....Does that mean, I should go join 
Voldemort???? meh...no, it just means I am really pissed at Harry 
for being such a blockhead, and going to the ministry, for a stupid 
glowing orb. Darnet, why couldn't it have been like a big trogan 
bunny, or, directions to Voldemorts secret Lair...or, at least his 
favorite Pizza, so, Dumbledore and the order could do a bad pizza 
dilvery scene.

OK..wait, If I remember right, and I probably don't. But, if the 
only person that can get the prophecy from the Ministry, is the 
person that the prophecy is about...then, if you want to get right 
down to it, wasn't it about Voldemort too. OK, I know it was saying 
a baby would be born, but wasn't it a baby that would defeat 
Voldemort..so, doesn't that make it Voldemorts prohecy to??? 
MEH...Uni confused, need advil....CURSE YOU EVIL PLOT DEVICE!!!!
