I tend to believe that it is more than just kindness, though DD is 
very kind, based on the scene in the entry hall.  (Am. ed., ch. 26, 
pg. 596-597) "'No---no, I'll g-go, Dumbledore!  I sh-shall l-leave 
Hogwarts and s-seek my fortune elsewhere---'  'No,' said Dumbledore 
sharply.  'It is my wish that you remain, Sibyll.'"  DD's tone of 
voice, IMHO, indicates a sense of urgency that she not leave.  
Perhaps, there is a third prophecy to come, or perhaps there is a 
magical way of retrieving a prophecy from someone, especially if 
that person is indeed a vessel for the prophecy?
