Prophecy Eavesdropper (and Greetings!)

[Ma-Dee]

No: HPFGUIDX 92604

As we all know the person who overheard the prophecy only heard the first part because "the eavesdropper was detected only a short way into the prophecy and
thrown from the building." (OP pg 743 UK ed.). Because this person was "detected" and "thown from the building" it narrows down the possibilities a bit as to who it was.

I'm suggesting Wormtail because if he were in rat-form at the time someone working at the HogsHead would probably want to get rid of a rodent in the building. Perhaps he unknowlingly (or knowingly) told this information to a DE or a spy for Voldemort before he had any idea that the prophecy could be about the child of the Potters or the Longbottoms. It could be that from that point on Wormtail was labelled an informant and that's how he came to be a spy for Voldemort himself.

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this before so I apologize if I'm going over old ground, here. (btw, I did read the Posting Guidelines etc...this place as more nettiquette rules than Simpsons-L! lol)

But I'd like to hear anyone's thoughts on the subject.

As you might have gathered already I'm new here. I'm 18 and have been a HP fan since 2001 and I look forward to lots of interesting discussion here!
