Thousand of things happened in the Potterverse, some important and some trivial, some serious and some funny, but, which was the most vital one according to you ? What one occurence over the seven books brought about the whole story as we know it now ? What was it that had the most far-reaching effect in the whole saga ? 
We are cutting out the formation of the earth and evolution of mankind as the first causes for obvious reasons, but there are a lot of options to choose from even excluding those. 
You can vote for more than one option. Please do tell us the reason why you think a particular event changed the shape of things to come, along with your choices.

Well, I accidentally selected the "null vote" but I meant to vote for "DD getting proof of Horcruxes", the two involving the actual making of Horcruxes (these all go hand-in-hand because they all contribute to the biggest adventure of the series). I also chose "LV using Harry's blood" mostly because of how important my first three choices were; without this, Harry wouldn't have survived.
I just realized that Draco disarming DD was an option, and that one was rather important as well.
But the one option I was surprised wasn't included was Snape overhearing the prophecy. IMO, this was the most far-reaching event in the entire series. The whole thing started with the prophecy, and how Snape used the information. Snape is, IMO, the most intriguing and important character in the series (save for Harry in terms of importance, and possibly DD, but in terms of the base of the plot, it was all Snape).

I completely understand what you all mean when you say that Snape overhearing the prophecy is the most important event according to you.
But that option was intentionally left out because this poll is in Great Wizarding Events which only takes into consideration the events that happened during the 7 books and not pre-book 1 events.
Sp please do vote for and comment on the events that happened in the 7 books for now and we will see if we can give you a poll with pre-book 1 options in due time.

If that's the case then why are "Snape begins spying for Dumbledore" and "Voldemort makes six Horcruxes" in the list since they both predate the events of the first book. (Well, most of the latter, anyway.)
If we ignore the title of this thread (to which the obvious answer is 'the prophecy') and go by the forum-specific restrictions then I agree with kendra.dumbledore. The books and the overall story arc would have been significantly different had Harry not had the friendship and support of the other two trio members.
