Molley:"it would be easy for a DE to arrange a meeting with her
outside Hogwarts for a personal reading of the ol tea leaves. I think
she would find such a request flattering and would feel reinforced in
her belief that she DOES "See", even if no one else thinks so. I
believe this is a real point of vulnerability and as ST is out of the
loop as far as the struggle against LV is concerned, it probably
hasn't occurred to any of the order members to consider that LV still
needs to know what the prophecy actually said. As far as my
frustration goes, I think it just may be a plot set-up for HBP."

Sybil Trelawney wouldn't recognize the danger, but Dumbledore does, I
think. That knowledge, and compassion, is why he would not let
Umbridge expel Trelawney from the castle when Umbridge fired her.  If
I were Dumbledore, I'd tell Sybil that her inner eye would be so
valuable to the Enemy and is so vital to the forces of Good that she
must be protected at all costs.	

But does Sybil even *know* that she made this vital prophecy?  She
didn't remember the one we witnessed.  Could the prophecy be extracted
from her by magical force, in the same way Bertha Jorkins was broken?
Can't take the chance.
