By controlling, I assume you mean the Imperius curse. I am still a 
little uncertain how this is performed, but I think it argues against 
your point.

If a wizard has to maintain eye contact to perform Imperius, then 
this would explain Snape's presence. But, Snape was forcibly removed 
before he heard the whole prophecy, so how could he have influenced 
events then.

If a wizard can perform the spell from afar, then why is Snape there 
at all?

To top it all, if I remember, the prophecy was made before Harry (& 
Neville) were born. Are we assuming that Snape can see into the 
future? You may argue that Snape knew Lily (alice) were pregnant, but 
that seems too much of a stretch.

Also, lets not forget, that Voldemort actually confirmed the prophecy 
by acting on it, i.e. Snape would have to know that Harry (who wasn't 
even born yet) would have a power to defeat the Dark Lord. Again you 
could probably argue that Snape was at Godric's hollow and it was all 
down to him and nothing to do with Lily/HArry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm hoping this is all very tongue in cheek on your part!!
