Oh dear, here is where you lose me again, Pippin. I just can't 
contain all these different versions in my poor brain all at once. 
Now let me try again. DD told the Order a lie that the prophecy 
contains instructions how to destroy Harry, so they won't tell Harry 
this lie, but Lupin and Sirius did know the truth and that's why they 
were exchanging glances, yet they didn't tell Harry the truth because 
they weren't supposed to know the truth, they were supposed to know 
the lie, but not tell it to Harry. Yet Sirius did want to tell Harry 
the truth but Molly objected, only she was objecting to telling Harry 
the lie, which she thought was the truth. Hey, I think I got it! Why 
didn't Sirius agree with Molly not to tell Harry the lie that she 
thought was the truth, and then went and told Harry the real truth?

But wait a minute – if Lupin is ESE he would have told Voldy the 
truth, so Voldy would have known the real prophecy and there was no 
need to go to the DoM, so Lupin couldn't have known the second half, 
so Sirius couldn't have told him, but Sirius would have told him if 
he knew so this must mean that Sirius didn't know it, so he must have 
believed DD's lie, so why were he and Lupin exchanging glances?

Nope, lost it again...
