Department of Mysteries Prophecies

I was reading through the Beyond the Veil chapter, when I came across 
something which had been already discussed before. But reading it 
further, I tried deciphering it, and whether this is a clue or just 
me and others over analysing the part of the book, or perhaps a red 
herring on JKR's part.

Pg 692, OOTP, English Edition:

*A jet of red light had shot out of Bellatrix Lestrange's wand, but 
Malfoy had deflected it; his spell caused hers to hit the shelf a 
foot to the left of harry and several of the glass orbs there 
shattered.

Two figures, pearly-white as ghosts.... began to speak; their voices 
vied with each other.

"...At the solstice will come a new..." said the figure of an old 
bearded man.

....

"... and none will come after..." said the figure of a young woman.*

I realised that maybe this really is a clue.

Why I think this is a clue? Because JKR says: several of the glass 
orbs there shattered. Meaning that in that room, there were more than 
two figures drifting into the air revealing the prophecies. The ones 
Harry heard were nearest, and these were the only ones he heard. 

But why did we have to hear the random bits of predictions from these 
two figures? There must have been several other whispers anyway, 
Harry must have heard a few words from the others, maybe if he lifted 
his head to see the others he would've. 

So, why those particular lines? Although the random bits are just 
bits of different prophecies, we heard those lines and hearing it 
together you read: 

...At the solstice will come a new...and none will come after... 

It sounds like a prophecy on it's on, it matches very well, doesn't 
it? Or is it only me? It sounds like one prophecy with a few missing 
pieces.

Although these two lines are from two different prophecies are not 
intended for harry, I felt it was the right opportunity for JKR to 
slip in a clue for the future books. After all, what better way to 
slip in a random clue in a mysterious predictions - completely 
unrelated to the boy-who-lived.

If this really is a clue what does it mean?

...At the solstice... 

The solstice. It doesn't say if it is a shortest day of the year 
solstice or the longest day of the year solstice but I think in 
either book 6 or seven something will happen on a solstice.. 

will come a new...and none will come after...

What will happen which is new and why will nothing like it happen 
again?? 

Is it a new prophecy on Trelawney's part? Number three being her last.

A new character we haven't seen stepping between Harry and Voldemort?

A prince?

Perhaps something that happens in the last battle.

What ever is in store in the nexts books I think these two prophetic 
lines are some how foreshadowing something in book 6 or 7 and it will 
start or end at the solstice.
