Christy:

Isn't that the reason that Voldemort lures Harry into the MoM to begin
with? To hear the WHOLE prophesy?

pg. 843 OotP

"Of course, I had not dreamed, when I set out to meet Sibyll
Trelawney, that I would hear anything worth overhearing. My -- our --
one stroke of good fortune was that the eavesdropper was detected only
a short way into the prophecy and thrown from the building.

So he only heard...?

He heard only the first part, the part fortelling the birth of a boy
in July to parents who had thrice defied Voldemort." 

Harry gets the prophecy, Voldemort takes it and listens to it, and
finally hears what he needs to (or what he thinks he needs to) hear to
defeat Harry.
