Occlumency takes time to learn. Voldemort ripping the information 
out of Harry's head wouldn't take very long. So knowing about the 
prophecy before finding a way to resist Voldemort's legilimency is a 
sure fire way for Voldemort to learn of the prophecy's details and 
for Harry to become the prime target of the Death Eaters.
