Geoff:
As written in my UK adult "library" edition, I find:
'But when Sybill Trelawney spoke, it was not in her usual ethereal,
mystic voice but in the harsh, hoarse tones Harry had heard her use
once before:
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born
to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month
dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal but he will have
power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of
the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one
with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh
month dies..."
The slowly revolving Professor Trelawney sank back into the silver
mass below and vanished.'
(OOTP "The Lost Prophecy" p.741 UK edition)
So both "one"s are lower case....
