Now Cory:

This is very true, and is only one of several reasons why it was a 
mistake for Dumbledore not to tell Harry what was going on.

Having said that, I am still curious to see how (or whether) 
Dumbledore will use Voldemort's ignorance of the prophecy against him 
in books 6 & 7.  I can envision a scenario where DD somehow (through 
Snape?) feeds Voldemort some bad information about what the prophecy 
says, as a means of keeping him under wraps for a while longer.
