OOP Prophecies Question (not just Trelawney's)

OK, two questions, actually.

1.  If the recording of prophecies is automatic, then what happens 
when a person is included in one?  How (if at all) does the MoM 
notify people when they get a prophecy about them??  What if there's 
more than one person in the prophecy?  Does each person get a ball?  
If so, is there a 'Voldemort' shelf with a copy of the prophecy?  Or 
is it 'first come, first serve', like buying tickets to Ozz-Fest?

2.  Is there a ball for Trelawney's second prediction?

2a.  (OK, 3).  I've always wondered why/how Dumbledore called the 
first prediction 'true' or 'real', when it hasn't technically come 
true yet?  Is it because of the circumstances?  Or because it's half 
true (so far)???
