I'm in a minority among book-readers, but I put less stock in prophecy (and the vague sayings of Quaithe) than most. The "three heads" is an example of something I think is attributed more meaning than it truly has. This may be because it's a red herring, or it may be because prophecy is shaky and unreliable even in-universe.
Hell, it may even end up being a genuine prophecy that simply goes unfulfilled, like Rhaegar's apparently-mystical belief that his child Aegon is destined for great things. That's how I read it, anyway.
