-	I know I haven't said all of this very well; I'm so excited about it
-	that I'm sort of rushing into posting.  I plan to refine it a lot
-	more based on the feedback that I hope it will get.  
-	But I will say this; if you want to know what's going on the very
-	first time you read the sixth book, all you have to do is watch
-	Snape.

Amey:
Really a great theory. May I suggest one or two changes? 
For one, I think if Snape is talking to any *adult*, he is important at the end of the book, or in some way important. He is not a person who indulges in small talk. (I said adult because that will take care of his talking to trio, Draco and Neville etc).
Second thing, about Filch. I think he is important because of his extensive knowledge of castle (maybe second only to twins and Dumbledore presently). He is the key if anybody wants to attack or defend Hogwarts. The way he is depicted, if somebody tells him that he will have full permission to do anything to students, he will help that person, like he helped Umbridge. Wonder what is with Mrs. Norris anyways?



-	Angie replies:
-	Good food for thought.  But I thought that Voldemort thought he had
-	heard the entire prophecy.  When did he find out that there was more
-	than he had originally heard?  And wasn't it member(s) of the Order
-	who referred to the prophecy as a weapon?  Are we to assume that DD
-	is the only person besides Trelawney who knows the entire prophecy?

Amey:
Given prophesy in PoA, I think only Dumbledore (not even Trelawney) and whoever told by him know about the whole prophesy. I think whatever he showed Harry was full prophesy, and he filled in the Order members (important ones at least). 


-	--Cory
-	One complication would be getting him the information in a form that
-	would convince him; we know that he "always" knows when he is being
-	lied to, so the person feeding him the information would have to
-	either believe it to be true themselves, or be very proficient at
-	occlumency.

Amey:
Wonder why this all sounds like *Snape*????
