I suspect that Trelawney's *first* prediction was made to a very 
select audience. Of our current cast of characters, Snape would make 
most sense. 

Snape because he is certainly reporting to Dumbledore in GoF and 
could thus reasonably be expected to have reported the first genuine 
prophecy to Dumbledore, *but* may have also had to report it (in his 
DE role) to Voldemort (especially if he wasn't alone at the time).

I (izaskun) ask:

Ok, Snape heard the prediction. But how? and when, and where??? 
Snape was not a teacher back then. He joined Hogwarts after LV's defeat. So he couldn't be near Trelawney, who I think was already a teacher. And how do I know Snape was not a teacher in those days. Cannon supports the idea. 

"Snape?" said Black harshly, taking his eyes off Scabbers; for the first time in minutes and looking up at Lupin. "What's Snape got to do with it?"

"He's here, Sirius," said Lupin heavily. "He's teaching here as well." PoA.

Black didn't know Snape was a teacher, he was even surprised to hear his name. That clearly indicates that Severus Snape was not a teacher 13 year before, he was not a teacher when Sirius was imprisoned, otherwise there wouldn't have been any need to explain Black what Snape was doing in Hogwarts. 

What Snape did before that, appart from being a DE and eventually a spy for DD, I don't know, but it's something I have been wondering for a long, long time. So, I ask you again. How the hell could he know about Trelawneys first prediction unless DD told him???

I think DD witnessed Trelawney's first prediction, and LV knew about it by some way or the other. There were a lot of spies for both sides in those days. Or maybe LV didn't know the prediction, he just went after the Potters because he an extremely evel centaur told him about Saturn and Mars brighting unusually the night Harry was born, or whatever. 

Cheers, Izaskun
