Hey, I don't know if I'm right but I think that it's pretty obvious 
that Snape doesn't know about the prophecy.
First of all I doubt DD told somebody about prophecy(except the 
Potters and maybe Longbottoms). He seems to think that it's better 
for you not to know about the horrible stuff.
What's more even if DD told somebody I'm sure it wasn't Snape - he 
is a double agent and DD risks that if SS gets to know about the 
prophecy Voldie would be able to 'read it in SS's mind'.
IMO Snape knows about the prophecy but only about the first part of 
it - probably every colse follower of Voldie had to know about it. 
So that brings me to the conclusion that Snape knows that either 
Neville or Harry could be The One. So basicly he knows nothing.
I don't know if it explains his behaviour however there is no way 
that Snape nows the full version of the prophecy - it would be very 
risky to tell him.

Julia, who now wonders if there was somebody who knew about the 
prophecy except DD, Potters and Longbottoms...
