Actually, only the people who the prophecies are about can pick 
them up. There was never any mention that the people who 
made the prophecies can pick them up. It was either 'The Dark 
Lord' or 'Harry Potter (?).' 

I know I'm being picky, but this is a pretty significant point. 

Another point- Sybill's second prophecy (end of PoA) is therefore 
acessable only to Voldemort and Wormtail, so they should 
therefore have no issues retrieving it and having a great sense of 
confidence instilled inside themselves. (The Dark Lord will rise 
more terrible than before). Talk about a self-esteem boost! That 
would make poor little Voldy who has been once again thwarted 
by that Potter boy feel much happier.
