Pippin:
The prophecy isn't that long. Even in a slow portentous voice you can
recite the whole thing in about forty seconds. If Snape were caught 
midway through the prophecy, dragged back from the door, broke away, 
burst in,  and then was apprehended *again*, he would have missed the 
second part of the  prophecy but Trelawney would have no idea that
he'd been caught once already, since she's completely out of it when
she's in a trance.
