DD & Harry in the broom shed with Snape

JMHO -BG:
Two reasons I think Snape was in that broom shed are:
1. Snape knew Harry had his invisibility cloak on him when they
entered The Great Hall – how? DD told Harry to keep with him at all
times during the chat in the broom shed.
2. DD says that there are only two people in the whole world
who know the whole prophecy and "they are standing in this smelling,
spidery broom shed" – Snape and DD. I still think that Harry does
not know the whole thing – I think that Harry was "destined" to be a
dark wizard but his choices have made him just the opposite. If
Harry believed that part of the prophecy then he might not have
thought he had a choice just like he thinks he has no choice now but
to face LV.

Whatchaya think?

I like it, but I don't think it holds together.

1.  "It was not until the glowing yellow light was ten feet away from
them, and Harry pulled off his Invisibility Cloak so that he could be
seen, that he recognized, with a rush of pure loathing, the uplit
hooked nose and long, greasy black hair of Severus Snape." (HBP, Am.,
p. 159-160)

2.  Harry *does* know the entire prophecy. He hears it directly from
Trelawney in the pensieve.(OotP, Am., p. 841)

I do agree the Snape's patronus is likely a spider (and the animal he
would transform to were he an animagus), but the spider in the broom
shed is probably just another spider in a series of books filled with
spiders.

I agree that Harry and Snape are going to have to reconcile. Harry is
going to need Snape's knowledge of magic to defeat Voldemort. I
suspect that what may make that possible is Harry's recognition, at
some point, of the similarity between his feelings in the cave, when
he is feeding Dumbledore the poison, and Snape's behavior on the tower
and later on the grounds.  There is also a slight suggestion that
Harry is going to have to put his hatred of Snape aside, if only to
keep it from getting in the way of his most important mission--the
destruction of Voldemort.
