Como? :-D 
No, I know what you meant and I've always liked 
your idea that the prophecy was made on Halloween, 
the night of Harry's conception.  The one thing I 
don't understand is why the the desription of the 
night as cold and wet is considered by all, it seems, 
as proof that the interview took place some time 
between late fall and early spring.  In the Scottish 
Highlands couldn't you have cold, wet nights at any 
time of the year.  I have never been there, but I have 
been in North Wales in July and I remember several 
cold, wet nights (and days).
