Nate:
The most important thing to me, considering the above, is that the
only written interpretation we have from the prophecy is the DD one.
And what no more tells here, but took my attention by the time I read
HBP, is that when DD finally finishes all his explanation of the
prophecy to Harry, he says "I have already proved that I can make
mistakes as any other."

To me, this is the most important clue that Jo give us, that a part of
DD's interpretation is wrong. I do not believe that his interpretation
it totally wrong, but I believe that a small part of it is wrong. And
my bet is that, in the last minute, all of us will discover that the
"one" of the prophecy is not HP, but Neville.

It's funny to hear that: it seems people are taking more attention in
what Jo says than what she writes.

Remember: in all HP series, TONS of people have already died - even by
the hand of HP himself.

Death does not seem to be a problem to the writer. She writes a lot
about it.
