No, you didn't miss anything.  This is one of the reasons why I hated
the Dumbledore-explains-it-all-to-Harry wrap-up in OOTP.  

He basically said, "well I made you miserable for a year because I
thought it was the right thing to do but it looks like I was wrong -
silly me."  I agree that Harry should have been told about the
prophesy at this point in the story - if not earlier - but the way
JKR wrote it it's like Dumbledore's just wiping out all the angst and
pain that everyone undertook for the entire year in a couple of
sentences.  

And of course he also talks about the Order in front of Harry too so
that's something else that Voldemort now knows....and Harry's
memories of 12GP.....and Harry's memories of reading the note to get
into 12GP....it just goes on and on.

I've got faith that JKR is going to explain this apparent anamoly
before the end of Book 7, especially as she's now aware that
thousands of us parse her books for just this kind of thing.  But I
hope it's really, really good...
