The prophecy, 2 boys (was Re: Lily being spared)

Dumbledore only told Harry who the other boy (Neville) was.
According to the prophecy (the last or second last chapter in The
Goblet of Fire) it would be one of two boys and Voldemort himself
would be the one to mark the boy to later come up against him. <

in such a way by Dumbledore that it could have referred to two
boys. Important difference. <

Yes you are right. I said that a long time ago before I posted
exactly what the prophecy had said and didn't think I needed to
explain it because I had corrected myself once already but
apparently it needs to be pointed out to everyone that originally
I made an error. Doesn't everyone? The prophecy states
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...
Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh
month dies ... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but
he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... and either must
die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the
other survives. … The one with the power to vanquish the Dark
Lord will be born as the seventh month dies..."
There were two boys born at that time Harry and Neville and
Dumbledore said it could have been either but Voldemort choose
Harry as the one he thought would stand up to him and created
his own enemy.
