We are told by Albus Dumbledore that the prophecy could have applied to either Harry or Nevil, but it was Voldemort that made the decision by marking him as an equal as well as accidentally making him a horcrux. If Harry was never born then Nevil's life would have been very different as Voldemort would have tried to kill Nevil and in the process mark Nevil as his equal as well as a horcrux. Here is the full prophecy: "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches … Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies … And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not … And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives … The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies…”
That’s a POSSIBILITY….but remember the only reason Harry has powers The Dark Lord knows not is because of Lily’s sacrifice protecting him from the killing curse and the fragment of soul that latches onto Harry after Voldermort’s body is destroyed. If Neville’s mother doesn’t sacrifice herself for Neville in the same manner as Lily then Neville isn’t covered by the same protection and isn’t “marked”. He’d just have been killed.
lost me at the start. if Harry was not born then why are his parents still in hiding? if Harry was not born then why is Voldemort seeking the potters? the Profecy says: the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord would be born at the end of July to parents who had defied Voldemort three times. if Harry was not born Voldemort would be looking for the Longbottoms not going after James and Lily for no reason.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! 😊 You’re absolutely right that the prophecy is central to Voldemort’s actions, and if Harry wasn’t born, the Longbottoms would be a more likely target. However, the story explores an alternate timeline where Voldemort doesn't fully understand the prophecy's specifics and seeks to eliminate both potential threats to his power. This explains why the Potters are still in hiding. It's a creative reimagining of events meant to spark “what if” discussions rather than adhere strictly to the established canon.
@@WhatIfMagic you say he seeks to eliminate both threats to his power but the 2 threats are harry and neville, if harry doesn't exist then there is only 1 threat to his power. also no matter what you say james and lily would not be in hiding if they have no child to protect.
"What other paths?" is a question that could be asked about real life,too. Throughly enjoyed this video. Very thought provoking. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️
0:12 one word neville
Neville Longbottom will be the chosen!😂❤
