Alla:
Who IS to blame then for the fact that Voldemort learned about 
Prophecy in the first place? Sure Snape was a loyal DE and sure  he  wanted his master to succeed and this is  where his blame lies, no?

Juli:
Snape is to blame, but only for the fact that he told Voldemort that he heard a prophesy, that's all. 

Alla:
Yes, but "but for Snape's actions" Voldemort would have never learned about prophecy in the first place, no? Voldemort made prophecy self fulfilling, but if he did not know about it, he would not have acted in the first place, IMO.

Juli:
You are right, but I still don't blame Snape for the Potters' death, he did a little thing (he told a prophesy), but from there things started to get much more bigger. Snape is to blame for staring this chain of events, not for every single event. IMO

Juli (earlier): 
> Besides, didn't a spy (probably Snape, IMO) told Dumbledore that 
Voldy was after the Potters? Didn't he do everything he could to keep them save?

Alla:
Could be or not, because Dumbledore had "spies", not one "spy". The 
question is does it cancel out telling Voldie about prophecy in the 
first place?

Juli:
It doesn't cancel it, but it decreases a bit. He made a mistake, he tried to make things right but he couldn't do it. He tried real hard to save the Potters (after he was the entire reason they were in danger), but he didn't succeed, so is the effort less worthy? Not in my book.
