So YES!! OF COURSE!!! JK cheated horribly with the prophecy...The
only way in that JK wouldn't cheat with the prophecy is if she
wouldn't have left it until the fifth book...

IMHO if there was anything that needed telling in the fifth book was
that in the COS Tom Riddle would have at least told Harry about it
then..at least part of it...TR's questions/suppositions lead us NOW
to question this..

The Tom Riddle preserved in the diary was only a teenager.  This 
diary was made by Tom while he was at Hogwarts. And it did not 
contain any future memories of the prophecy.
