Yes, that is quite possible. I think it would be very much Rowling if she made use of the "telling the truth to conceal the truth" trick. She tells us what will happen right out, but no-one believes it because of the way she says it. And as fond as I am of Snape, I don't think he is quite the misunderstood tragic hero that he is sometimes made out to be. I could well imagine we'll learn some unexpected things about Snape in future books.
Hm, you know, personally I don't really like the whole Prophecy business much, because I don't believe in the concept of prophecies. But in Rowling's universe, prophecies are a major driving engine, and someone in Harry's generation is bound to turn out to be a Seer. For reasons stated (throw-away line etc.), I would like it to be Parvati. But this is as good a theory as any other.
After all, if she and Lavender share a brain, why didn't Hermione have to correct both of them on the subject of Harry's insanity in OoP?
That is an excellent point. I knew I was forgetting some aspect in Parvati's favour. Rowling made a point of stressing that it was Lavender who distrusted Harry's version of events.
