Pippin:
 Nobody would say that the phrase "man of woman born" is generally meant to exclude people delivered by Caesarian. But that's the way it works in Macbeth. 

And it's not only Shakespeare. The word delphic is still used to mean "obscurely prophetic."  Elijah made a prophecy about King Ahab that came true in an obscure way also. So I am afraid that is just the way some prophecies work. After all, Dumbledore did advise being distrustful of them. 

We don't know what power is behind the prophetic messages of the Potterverse, but if it can arrange the stars and planets to spell out messages, surely it is no trouble  to communicate with Voldemort, and if Snape does not do it someone else will.  You don't suppose Harry was Chosen by **Snape**?
