<P> Then there's the last bit along with the first two ...--Ihope127 9 July 2005 01: 28 (UTC) </P> <P> the prophecy is really silly i mean let's examine it "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches" first who is this dark lord just because there is a dark lord running ramped doesn't mean it's that dark lord it could be some other dark lord maybe it's a dark lord that has not even appeared yet and "approaches" this could mean what dumbledore thinks it means and this dark lord vanquisher is going to be born soon or it could mean they have come from a long distance away and are therefore approaching . "born to those who have thrice defied him" defied him, this could mean that the dark lord merely asked the vanquishers parents a favor and they said no, he said pretty please? and they said no again, he said oh come on and they said no . BOOM the dark lord has been thrice defied . "born as the seventh month dies" there are lots of seven months such as the school year months and chinese new year . also they could have been born 80 years ago or is going to be born in a year . who knows? </P> <P> There's also the issue of what calendar it goes off of . The month of July is the seventh from the modern (western) viewpoint, but in old, pre-Caesar Rome, the month of September was the seventh . And it would make a disturbing amount of sense for "born as the seventh month dies" to be a reference to September, the month named after the Latin word for seven (septem). </P>
