Interesting thought...

Does anyone know if a thought can be staged to put into the 
pensieve?  It wouldn't be very kind to do to Harry, but what if 
Dumbledore modified the memory of the prophesy to what he wanted LV 
to know?  

Either he knows that Harry isn't able to shield his mind completely, 
and thus will use that knowledge to feed LV a fake prophesy, or he 
knows that Harry can in fact shield himself if he wants to.  If it's 
the latter, he must feel confidant that Harry now has the incentive 
to shield himself.
