Aggie:
Are you saying then that had Harry told DD or someone about the 
prophecy that it wouldn't have played out?  Kind of like the 
oppposite of a self-fulfilling one?  It only happened because Harry 
didn't tell anyone, if he had told someone (namely DD) then something 
could have occurred to stop it.  Somehow Wormtail could have been 
stopped from transforming and escaping and Sirius would have been 
free! Trelawney in her 'seer' guise 'knew' that Harry was going to 
forget and thus 'knew' it was going to happen! 

Wow! I'm getting headache now!! 
Very interesting!  Thanks for sharing!
