OK, I may be way off here, but I have to ask a question:

Harry's vision that took him to the MoM was of V trying to get Siruis 
to take down the prophecy, and Siruis refusing. 

When Harry asks Malfoy Sr. what the prophecy is, he seems surprised 
that Harry doesn't know. I think he even says that that explains why 
he (Harry) hadn't been to the ministry sooner. 

So.... if V didn't know Harry didn't know what the prophecy was, then 
V didn't know that Harry didn't know that only the people in the 
prophecy could take it down. Then V didn't know that Harry wouldn't 
know that an attempt to fake it would work. 

Confusing??? V wouldn't think to use Siruis as a decoy of he thought 
that Harry would know that Sirius wasn't in the prophecy and 
therefore couldn't take it down. But he did use Siruis, without 
knowing that Harry was ignorant of this stipulation.

Therefore.....V must have thought that Harry would believe Siruis 
could take down the prophecy. 

See if that sinks in.....
