Now LHunneb:  

Maybe DD sent a copy of the Prophesy to the Ministry as a safe-guard 
against disaster.  After all, the Order was busy fighting Voldemort 
and, knowing that only the person mentioned in the prophesy could 
completely destroy Voldie, they could all have been killed.  If both 
DD and Trelawney had been killed, Harry might never have been able to 
learn of the prophesy without it being held at the Ministry.
