This has been puzzling me for some time. As I understand it, the
whole point of everything DD did in OotP was to keep LV from learning
the remainder of the prophecy. After the battle in the MoM, LV knows
that the prophecy has smashed and the contents are lost. DD knows
that Harry has not got far with Occlumancy and that LV is aware of the
connection so can access Harry's mind. Why then does DD immediately
tell Harry the contents of the prophecy? Now LV can get it from
Harry's mind. If it was so important that LV didn't find out then why
not continue the "Oh dear the prophecy is smashed" line. If it's
suddenly not really that important that LV could access it from Harry,
why did DD have to stay away from Harry all year, leave him stewing in
ignorance all summer and allow a situation to develop that ended up in
the loss of one of the most important people in Harry's world?
Any thoughts?
