As is this fan community. I am having so much fun thinking through these possibilities. :)
Also, this crystallizes why I *don't* want the prophecy to be about Neville in this AU, as cool as it in some ways would be. I think Neville's really important, but I'm really interested in Harry's journey to saving the world from Voldemort, now his own adopted father. And I want to see how he gets there from his new position in Slytherin. It is actually a little bit of a Slytherin redemption story, isn't it? And... I'm not putting this into words very well, but yeah, I really like what you say in your post. I'm going to tag this thread "best of alt_fen" in its honor!
