 <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? >

Kimberly here:
Her choice was in dying so that her son could live.   She knew that she had magic
in place that would protect Harry from being killed by LV.  Had she chosen to fight,
remain alive, not sacrifice herself, then that protection would not have been activated
and Harry could have been killed.    It is because Lily's blood runs through Harry's
veins that he has been protected, not Neville.   If you believe Dumbledore to have been
lying through out the books, it is certainly proved as truth in SS when Quirrel can't 
touch Harry.


-tomriddledarklord says:

<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 

Kimberly here:
Suggesting that Dumbledore sat by dumb while they made Peter Pettigrew
their secret keeper would suggest that Dumbledore had a say in who they
chose.   I don't recall canon indicating such an occurance.  For Dumbledore to
have switched Harry and Neville would mean for him to be sacrificing Harry
for Neville's sake.  I do think it's interesting how the prophecy could have 
referred to either Harry or Neville but that's one of the ironies of the book for me...
that LV chose not the pure blood, but Harry instead.

<...snip...snip....
 
<Based on this I think the last book title will be 

<HARRY POTTER AND THE CHOSEN ONE 


Kimberly here:
No, because Harry is the Chosen One.... Chosen by LV as a result of
a half-heard prophecy.   LV chose Harry, the prophecy stated that LV
would "mark him as equal".   Dumbledore clearly states when Harry 
suggests it might instead have meant Neville that "He chose you, not 
Neville. (OotP, pg. 842, Amer. Ed.).     

I'm holding out for a more obvious title...
Harry Potter and The Dark Lord
