Well, since I got PM-ed, I thought I'd join this thread! Mind you, I'm a bit stuck with my own writing ATM, so a short break is welcome!

Anyway, just to add my opinion, I've never really seen that as direct forshadowing; rather the bit about not interfering in the events predestined struck me as the bit to remember. I always thought it meant Harry needed to live, learn to fight his own battles, and use these experiences to aid him, rather than have a centaur rescue him, thus not giving Harry any chance to learn.

So I think Bane was helping him, in a sense.
