If Harry doesn't tell Ron & Hermione about the prophecy, then 
Dumbledore might choose to do so himself.  I think there's no 
question that he recognizes their role as Harry's friends, advisors, 
and *backup*.  It would make sense for them to know how serious the 
threat to Harry is, for their own protection as well as Harry's, but 
also because it might (will!) influence what decisions are "right" 
and "wrong" for Harry in 6 & 7.  I know that Dumbledore has previous 
shown a reluctance to reveal personal information (Neville's parents) 
but I see this as less of an emotional issue for Harry and more of a 
practical one.
