It was a not-so  subtle warning. Because the Prophecy wasn't about 
Peter, it was about Sirius.

There's Harry, getting all gooey about leaving Privet Drive, ready to
move in with a criminal on the run, the person who bears a large
proportion of the blame for the deaths of his parents ( and that's
if you're of a generous disposition - Sirius being stupidly brilliant
with the SK swap - if you're more suspicious you may think a lot
worse). And he's known this character for maybe half-an-hour. 

Wonderful. Just what DD needs - Harry removed from protection
and under the influence of someone who has the cool, analytical
planning ability of a wet cat and just happens to be the subject of a 
major manhunt. Harry might survive for two days - if he's lucky.
Sirius has no wand and Harry is hardly the world's  best wizard at 
this point. And if he uses his wand the Ministry will nail him. 
Nah, it's a  disaster waiting to happen.

If you're really subversive you can postulate that it's all a deliberate
plot to get Harry out into the open. 

That second prophecy is intended to make Harry think, but that's
a forlorn hope where Harry's concerned.
