Do you mean did he have any part in storing the prophecy? Because 
IIRC Dumbledore tells Harry that the DoM is responsible for the 
labeling and recording of prophecies. And at the time the prophecy 
was made he still could very well have been working for LV. There 
has also been speculation about whether or not Snape was the one to 
overhear the prophecy as well, but canon has not yet proven it. But 
I am pretty sure that Snape is NOT the one the prophecy is refering 
to, if that's what you were getting at. 

Meri - who almost thinks that the night that ST delivered the 
prophecy is replacing that fatefull evening in GH as the time period 
that she most wants JKR to explain...
