I just read over this passage in the book.  I believe (and I don't 
know if this will end up being important to the last two books or 
not) but I believe there's a strong possibility it was Mundungus who 
overheard part of the original prophecy.  We know he was banned from 
the Hogshead twenty years prior but still sneaks in there (he was 
the one who overheard the planning meeting for DA.  As DD is 
relating the entire prophecy to Harry, he tells him the eavesdropper 
was discovered and thrown out half-way through the prophecy.  
Mundungus hangs out with some fairly unsavory folks, I think he 
could have related what he overheard to the wrong person.  We also 
know that DD got Mundungus out of a tight spot and earned Mundy's 
loyalty at that time.  Could the tight spot be related to getting 
him off a 'cooperating with DE's" charge?

Am I fishing with too long of a line here?
