Rowling is on record as stating that prophecies can be just-walked-away-from which makes their dynamics less clear and not obviously a self-consistency thing.
What does this even mean?
I think it means that prophecies may be merely "very good magically-derived estimations of the future" -- we are not sure they bind the past with the future as tightly as Time-Turners seem to do.
Oh, I didn't know that, thanks.
