Steve:

I'm not sure there is a definition beyond the obvious. To Harry, being the Chosen One is an embarrassing annoyance. To other, it means that Harry was chosen by Voldemort as the one who was the greatest threat to him, which is why he tried to kill him.

>From another aspect, Harry is Chosen because he is the only person to ever survive the Killing Curse. To have done such an amazing thing, it to have been chosen by destiny for ...something.... 

There is also the Prophecy that Voldemort used to choose Harry as his greatest threat. Few know about this, but the Prophecy predicts that a child born at the end of July will have the power to defeat the Dark Lord. Voldemort assumes that mean Harry, and in trying to kill Harry, he chose him and made him, his own greatest threat. 

So, "The Chosen One" has many contexts in which it can be considered, I don't think there is a 'definition', only an explanation.
