My post will not be about the conditions themselves, but I'd like to 
challenge two parts of your ACTUAL conditions. I have a book on divination, 
and I'm sure I will read it later, but for now I wish to challenge the fact that: Dumbledore and Trelawney were NOT in fact, in a crowded but, but were actually in a pub that was almost always empty, AND that he was not even IN 
the initial pub.

Dumbledore, as said in the book, had actually had the interview ABOVE the 
bar, in a private room, therefore not in a crowded room. Also there is the 
fact that the interview took place at the Hogs Head (chuckle)! Like Hermione 
had stated earlier in the book, The Hogs Head was almost always empty because of its dirtiness and un-pleasant conditions! So the connection between DD and Harry's prophecy witnesses is the fact they they were both private...I shall take a look at my divination book later to see about the conditions of a prophecy and I will see you later...
