SSSusan:
Right.  I totally agree with this.  But for me this leaves the 
question:  If Voldy got ahold of it and heard it, so he then knew 
what we already know, how *would* this change his strategy?  Would it 
change it at all?

Siriusly Snapey Susan, still curious if anyone can think of a way 
that full knowledge of the prophecy's contents would alter Voldy's 
strategy
