"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 hands 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."
Witnessed by Albus P.W.B. Dumbledore.
"It will happen tonight.
The Dark Lord lies alone and friendless, abandoned by his followers. His servant has been chained these twelve years. Tonight, before midnight, the servant will break free and set out to rejoin his master.
The Dark Lord will rise again with his servant's aid, greater and more terrible than ever he was.
Tonight, before midnight, the servant will set out to rejoin his master."
Witnessed by Harry J. Potter.
While no one questions the accuracy of her prophesies, they tend to be few [2] and far between [14 years].
In her defense, it should be noted that she goes into a trance when making a prophesy and doesn't remember what she has said. It is, therefore, possible she has uttered hundreds of predictions, including the collapse of the "dot.com's", with no witnesses present to record them.
