KathyK jumps in:

I just wanted to say that while it may be too convenient for 
people's liking for the eavesdropper to have only heard part of the 
prophecy, I don't think it's unlikely or convenient that someone 
would be trying to listen in on this particular conversation.  In 
fact, I think it would be unbelievable if no one was trying to 
eavesdrop.  Is this because there's something vital about Trelawney, 
the unproven seer, or is this because the position of Divination 
Professor is so important Voldemort must know what's going on?  Of 
course not!

If I were Lord Voldemort, and the only wizard I ever feared was out 
there doing everything he could to thwart my evil reign of terror, I 
would have people following his every move as best they could.  And 
since he was headmaster at Hogwarts, I would definitely have spies 
stationed in Hogsmeade.  Dumbledore sitting at the Hog's Head was an 
opportunity not to be missed.  The spy may not have known a thing 
about who Dumbledore was meeting and what it was regarding until the 
interview actually began.  And then the spy got lucky.  

I'm in no way discounting the idea that Dumbledore might have had 
something to do with James and Lily's deaths.  You all have made me 
way too suspicious of him for that.  But I find nothing wrong with 
the idea that Voldemort is terribly interested in anything having to 
do with Dumbledore and has people doing their best to track his 
movements, even if it's just to a job interview in the Hog's Head.
