"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
." - Sybill Trelawney, overheard by Albus Dumbledore at the Hog's Head Inn "on a cold, wet night" 17 years ago.
What does it mean?
"It meant," said Dumbledore, "that the person who has the only chance of conquering Lord Voldemort
for good was born at the end of July, nearly sixteen years ago. This boy would be born to parents who had already defied Voldemort
three times."
