Alla:

Erm... Julie, what do you think Snape imagined Voldemort would do 
with this information? Would go and make friends with the couple who 
gave the birth to the child who has the power to destroy him? :-)

Granted, it is likely that at that moment Snape only heard half of 
the prophecy. I believe that he eventually learned  the complete one, 
but I am inclined to believe that back there he did not hear 
everything.

How does it change things though? By giving  this information to 
Voldie he basically signed the death warrant to whatever couple  and 
their baby fitted the description of the "prohecy couple and child".

Am I missing something here? OK, he did not know the  names, so he is 
at least complicit  in putting to death " unnamed couple" , who 
definitely existed  because Prophecy said so.

Yep, I do think that Snape set in making chain of events that made 
Harry an orphan.

Just my opinion of course,

Alla.
