Trying to keep Voldy from learning the prophecy's content does make 
sense in terms of a diversionary tactic. Although it seems that the 
prophecy actually contained little or nothing Voldy didn't already 
know (or at least logically deduced), he of course could not have 
known that the prophecy would prove so uninformative.  Therefore, it 
is an excellent strategic move, as Dumbledore scrambles to pull 
together an anti-DE coalition, to get Voldy to squander valuable time 
and resources into obtaining access to information that will do him 
little good.
