I believe that Dumbledore made a mistake interpreting the prophecy. 
It's not vague or cryptic in meaning, it's more likely very *exact*!

What I was thinking of the phrase 'As the 7th month dies' - well... 
anyone watch TV when the year 1999 died? It WAS pretty big thing 
then, wasn't it? Particularly with the rumoured Millenium-bug of 
computers, and the whole 4-digit vs. 2-digit systems...

So, thinking globally, 'as the 7th month dies' refers to a 24-hour 
period, beginning from Midnight at the International Date-line, on 
GMT+12 - time zone, where the '7th month dies' and becomes 1st August 
first. (GMT time on that moment, in Britain where the Greenwitch 
observatory is located, this time happens to be NOON, 31st July...). 

And, 7th month is completely dead when even at GMT-12 time-zone 31st 
July turns to 1st August. (At noon GMT, 1st August).

And what does this mean? We've heard that Neville was born on 30th 
July, which makes it too early for him to be 'the one' - unless he 
was born at Midnight on GMT-12 timezone -- and his parents chose his 
birthdate to be the 30th July (to hide the possibility of his being 
the prophecy-boy...).
