I'm not sure that this is evidence for Master Manipulator!Dumbledore. 
Bearing in mind that DD is acutely aware that Voldemort appears to be 
able to get inside Harry's head, I think that it may be imperative that 
Harry doesn't know the whole prophecy. Harry has not mastered 
occlumency, and therefore cannot be expected to protect important 
secrets!! If the full prophecy details HOW Harry might defeat 
Voldemort, then DD is simply trying to protect Harry.
