last time, and they know more than that, which is the part that 
Molly stops them from telling, and she implies that anybody who 
is inducted into the Order knows this part. And why is it Molly, of 
all the Order members, who objects here so emotionally? She's 
not the only one who cares about security breaches, but she is 
the one who cares about Harry's innocence.<

Pippin:
What the Order's been told, I imagine, is what Voldemort was 
allowed to think--that the prophecy would  tell him how to destroy 
Harry. Molly would naturally not want Harry to be told that. But 
Dumbledore had a much better reason than Molly for not wanting 
Harry to be told this -- he knew it  wasn't true. 

Sirius and Lupin, I believe, also knew better -- I think James told 
Sirius about the prophecy and he, much later, told Lupin. It's 
significant that the glance goes between Sirius and Lupin and 
not between the others at the table. Those two know something 
they think is secret.But Sirius and Lupin couldn't tell Harry what 
they actually knew because they weren't supposed to know it.
