I think the prophecy holds a big clue, that many readers, including 
me, didn't realise in the beginning. It's in the sentence "And he 
will have powers the Dark Lord knows not". Voldemort hoped, that the 
prophecy might give him a hint, how to kill Harry. It doesn't. But it 
gives a hint, how to kill Voldemort (probably through love). Once 
Voldemort found out, that Harry has powers he hasn't, he would try 
everything to find out, what these powers are, so that he will be 
prepared, if Harry uses these powers against him. That's why 
Dumbledore didn't want Voldemort to hear the prophecy.

I agree with what you said and I would like to add.

The big "V" has basicly wasted a year trying to find out what this prophecy said, he has failed. 

He now knows that the MOM copy of it is broken, and no-one heard it. Bellatrix was in the Prophcy Room and knows that Harry does not know it either. 

This can be a "Big Deal" for someone who believes such things to be important as obviously LV does.

The fact of the Prophecy is not realy an issue, it is the niggling doubt for LV that is the benefit for the good guys.
