The Potters were in the Order, extremely loyal to Dumbledore and 
ever willing to risk their lives working against the Dark Lord. They 
would have expected their son to do the same-fighting bravely along 
side them and sacrificing if the need arises. 

However, in the Order of the Phoenix, after Dumbledore revealed the 
entire prophecy to young Harry, the poor boy was haunted by it and 
didnt even tell Ron and Hermione, his two best friends. So, imagine 
telling a couple that their son had to either perish or kill the 
Dark Lord feared by everyone during that time. Therefore, in my 
humble opinion, no one knew about the entire prophecy except 
Dumbledore and of course, Professor Trelawny.
