I found it intriguing that JKR seems to apply a straightforward
analysis of the prophesy to the facts as we at least think we know
them (i.e., LV marked Harry by trying to kill him, etc.); yet, she
admitted the prophecy remains ambiguous to her fans and to her
characters.
Her characters, hmmm. The only characters that we know for certain
know about the prophecy are DD and Harry and the prophecy-keeper
(Wonder who that is and why LV didn't go after him?). Sybill acted
like she didn't know about the prophecy she made in POA, so I assume
it was the same for the other prophecy. While there may be others
who are/were aware of the prophesy we haven't been told who they are.
Harry hasn't really had time to digest the prophesy yet, although
based on Jo's response to the poll question, he mulls it over in
HPB. No biggie for me there. And I seriously doubt that Jo was
referring to the prophesy keeper.
But what about DD? Is the prophesy still ambiguous to him, or does
he think he has it all figured out? Could this be Jo's way of
hinting that DD may be wrong in his interpretation, still yet?
