Something I've thaught about. . . .

[Fawnkit]

In Cats of the Clans; This is what it said on Jaypaw, Hollypaw, and Lionpaws page; Firestar waited a long time for these kits to be born.

These kits. These, as in Jayfeather, Lionblaze and Hollyleaf.

So Hollyleaf must be alive. Plus she's the one.

I know what your thinking; But Hollyleaf wasn't ciacotic when this book was writen. Well, everyone says that she had powers until the third POT book, and a sneek peek of Eclipse was in the back.

So here's what I think; Hollyleaf knew she had the power of the stars in her paws and she wanted safty to her clan so she never used them.

And the Hunters once said that they planned for Ashfur to trap them before the series even came out, so maybe they had Sunrise planned when they wrote Cats of the Clans.

Thats Just My Opinion.

Oh, and Dovepaw just naturaly have awesome senses.

JK! JK!
But seriously, I've given this some thaught.

when the book was written I think the Erins still believed Hollyleaf was a part of the prophecy, but then latter (as in after the book was written) determined the cat didn't have a power and that she wasn't a part of the prophecy (and that it would be another cat that would be kin of Firestar)

I thought it was slightly amusing when Firestar thought at first that the 3 were Leafpool, Squirrelflight, and Cloudtail (says this in OotS 2). Ok Leafpool and Squirrelflight I can see (special connection not yet seen in any cat)...but not Cloudtail. Whitewing yes, but not her dad.
