Well, in the spirit of sticking your neck out:

Harry was sorted into Slytherin.

Dumbledore created Harry to be the ideal literary hero.

Lord Voldemort doesn't want to conquer the world.

Dumbledore is working on way more advance information than everyone else.

Dumbledore created Harry to be the ideal literary hero.

This is canon.

Dumbledore is working on way more advance information than everyone else.

To a lesser extent, this is as well.

Let me be more specific then.

*Dumbledore has had the intention of creating the boy who lived since before Harry's birth and likely, before his parent's marriage.

*Dumbledore has access to many, many more prophecies than anyone else and has been using this fact for decades.

Those are vastly more interesting predictions. Plausible, and it'd be an interesting story if true.
