It's past 2:30 AM here but this thought won't leave me alone.  

I know, it's another unresolvable Fidelius question, but why could 
Dumbledore have not merely kept the secret of the prophecy's contents 
under the Fidelius Charm?  

It should then (somehow) make the recording sphere a moot point that could 
not reveal the contents.  It should have also allowed Dumbledore (he wouldn't 
have to have looked at him, writing it down would work) to communicate the 
details to Harry without fear of Harry being able to inadvertablty "leak" the 
contents to Volde.  (At least I believe that was one reason to keep him 
somewhat insulated from sensitive secrets).  

Know what I think?  I think that onn the March 4th chat with JKR, someone 
should ask her to explain this damn Fidelius Charm!
