 Many have wondered why JKR,  who places such a high value on 
choice, would make a prophecy the key to the mystery of Harry and 
LV.  Maybe she did it to show that "Destiny is a name often given in 
retrospect to choices."  Maybe Harry will end up rejecting the 
prophecy and the fatalism it proclaims.  Maybe he will make his own 
free choice, based on his own vision and conscience.  It would be 
the biggest paradox of all if, in rejecting the prophecy, Harry 
makes a choice that ends up destroying  Lord Voldemort -- thus 
fulfilling the prophecy.

You may be on to something here. You just jogged my memory. I 
remember a riddle or test of some sort, the kind that only members 
of Mensa would get the answer to.  I can't remember it very clearly, 
it was years ago, but it was one of these damned if you do and 
damned if you don't choices. The answer was to think outside of the 
box and not make the choice at all!!  Maybe the final choice that 
Harry makes will involve something like that. Sorry I can't remember 
the details, but you get the idea.
