I've seen it on a couple of other comment threads, but I think that Harry's understanding of time-causality is key here. If the lesson of the Comed-Tea is learned, it seems that efforts to defy prophecy are useless from the get-go.
But then I'm not practiced at arguing time-travel mechanics - can anyone else elaborate on this question?
