I, Del, asked earlier:
" 2. Who in the Order knows about Harry's dreams of the corridor?"

Francois replied :
"Well, Snape most likely did, 
(snip)
"Knowing that Snape can "put two and two together like only Snape
can", I would be surprised that Snape didn't figure it out.  To me,
the question  would then be "did Snape report this ?""

Del answers:
I just re-read the scene, and Harry actually *told* Snape he'd been
having those visions. So the question is indeed to know whether Snape
reported this, and to whom. If he reported it *only* to DD, who
already knew, then it almost doesn't change anything to the situation
: the probability that the other Order members didn't know about
Harry's recurrent dreams is still there. Especially since, according
to DD (in his end-of-book talk), Snape *discovered* those dreams when
Harry told him : if DD didn't tell *Snape* (who was supposed to teach
Harry Occlumency) the very reason Harry needed to learn it, it's not
such a wild assumption to make to suggest that maybe DD didn't tell
*anyone*.

As for Snape putting 2 and 2 together, my question is : did Snape know
about the Prophecy? Because if he didn't, he couldn't properly make
that addition.
