Hi guys,
This is my first, try read this and give your thoughts.
Till now whatever I have read there are 2 things common in JK
Rowling's writing:
1. unexpected twists
2. using the weakest link to finally wrap up at last
So just a few remainders like:
There are two kids dealing with prophecy - Harry and Neville.
One can see that other than Harry, Ron, Hermione and other Weasleys,
one student who gets a little more attention is Neville.
One can see that Neville has no big contribution but I can see he
is dragged well but with few references as now and then. So one
can see from book 1 to 6 Neville is side by side with Harry but not
coming to the limelight.
Now coming to the point,
as Albus Dumbledore says to Harry "your mother had a choice". That's
where a very, very weak link is present.
No mother will leave her infant to the hands of death and I think
that there is no choice left to Mrs. Potter other than to die rather
seeing her child die.
So where is the choice?
?

.
Here I take a wild guess that if Harry is used as a scapegoat for
Neville. I.e Neville is the son of Potters and Harry the son of
Longbottoms.
Here is the plot -
as soon as the prophecy is revealed everyone points out that the
son of Potters in danger, Black comes to risk by being the key.
But Mr. potter gives the key to Peter Pettigrew.
I cannnot see Dumbledore to sit as a dumb and dumber to take chance
on the weakest of all: Peter Pettigrew.
So he must have interchanged the kids so that the chosen one, i.e
Neville, be still safe and Harry could be made a scapegoat and also
fooling Voldemort and JKR has very cleverly put the Longbottoms into
a situation of insanity so there be no doubt to anyone save
Voldemort but including the readers.
Given this piece of information now recall the same sentence "your
mother had a chance" i.e., she could have walked away from the kid
just like that to save her life, but she chose the other way.
One point of argument is that Dumbledore has given importance of the
lesson, mainly w.r.t the horocruxes to Harry and not to Neville.
Well there is no reference that Neville knows about horocruxes, but
that does not mean that Dumbledore has not given the same details to
Neville and JKR has well good reasons to save this as a last trump
card against Lord Voldemort.
By the end of the book 6 Neville should have known who he is and
Dumbledore must have asked to keep this secret so that Voldemort's
concerns are against Harry and get always distracted.
Recall that Neville is afraid of Snape "the half blood prince" and
he is raisen to villainous stardom by killing the famous wizard
Albus Dumbledore. So I think that as Harry vs. Voldemort fight is
going to be there, there is another important fight of Neville vs.
Snape.
Now let me summarize this in one sentence:
Harry is ordinary wizard and Neville the chosen one.
Then why all the cry and what the book is about?
Well this book is about Harry an ordinary peace-loving wizard who
is forced into the hands of Voldemort as scapegoat.
But this ordinary wizard cannot be killed by the greatest of the
wizards, well not once, but thrice.
And Harry being an ordinary wizard beats Voldemort thrice and in
fact Voldemort in book 5 wants to know what the whole prophecy is
because his confidence in himself is diminished after the escape of
Harry in book 4.
And Harry remains at large for Voldemort.
Recall Dumbledore says Voldemort has brought this chaos against him
by transferring his powers to Harry who is not the chosen one.
Dumbledore always says that Voldemort is fool enough to bring this
present situation unnecessarily. Which supports my point that Albus
is talking with double meaning.
And finally it is Voldemort the greatest wizard who goes on hiding
where Harry is still available at open.
Based on this I think the last book title will be
HARRY POTTER AND THE CHOSEN ONE
