I would like to ask what evidence you can present to the fact that
Dumbledore's memory of Trelawny's prophecy being 'tampered' with?  In
book 6 Slughorn reworks the memory of explaining the horcruxes to
Voldemort and we know immediately because of the 'large ammount of
smoke' that ends up filling the room when Dumbledore and Harry enter
it. Also- if  Dumbledore really did plant the memory on Trelawney, how
does she end up making yet another prediction in book 3, and in the
strange voice with her eyes rolling all around- as they've said so
many times- someone under the imperius curse shows hardly any signs of
being placed under. If we take the prophecy as being true-which JKR
has said many times that it is worded very particularly for a reason-
it says "Voldemort will mark him as his equal' thus proving that
Dumbledore could not have chosen Neville or Harry- Voldemort had to do
that all by himself.  Also worthy of note is that he ends up choosing
the boy that most closely mirrors himself- half blood, orphaned, they
both come from almost the same backround- raised in terrible places-
yet they both turn out so differently- Why?
