Are there any good guesses out there of what the apocalyptic-seeming prophecies about Harry might mean? The one about tearing apart the stars could be a reference to star-lifting. Could the "end of the world" prophecy just mean that Harry would change the world or something?
From the minutes after Trelawney's interrupted "he is coming" prophecy:
Harry, you are the scary thing. (And I really hope Harry ends the world as we know it.)
As in “the end of the world as we know it”? Maybe.
That’s the trouble with prophecies: You only really understand them in hindsight …
That's what all historical end-of-the-world prophecies have ended up meaning.
