The prophecy says, "The sorceress from another land will make Oz her home until she fulfills her destiny and unseats the greatest evil the realm has ever known." Dorothy did none of those things, so unless she goes back later and defeats someone else it shouldn't be her.

Depends on how you look at it. Dorothy arguably did fulfill all aspects of the prophecy. She came from another land and stayed with the witches for a time (e.g. made Oz her home). She "unseated" Zelena (the greatest evil) when Glinda offered her the West seat. But she did not stay in Oz, thus satisfying the until she fulfills her destiny part.

One problem is that Dorothy was not shown to have magic. However, considering Glinda's comments that she had to be special to survive the cyclone, maybe her magic came out on instinct to protect her when she was in danger (sort of like Emma). And also, since Glinda offered Dorothy a place among the Oz witches, she may have already sensed the magic potential in her.
