Hells:
I believe that Dumbledore showed Harry an edited version of the 
prophesy and that he will reveal the rest later. The information in 
the prophecy was rather pointless in my mind, we didn't really learn 
anything that we hadn't already guessed. No part of it should have 
been described as  "a weapon of sorts".
 I don't think that DD, seeing the error of his past ways, would 
tell Harry only half the truth. I think he told him the prophecy in 
full, but is sort of leaving it to Harry to work out its meaning for 
himself. Or amongst his friends as we know he will tell Ron and 
Hermione whom each think differently than Harry does, and will put a 
different spin on it.

We have to think...what if the prophecy involved more than TWO and 
DD had to edit it for Harry...DD would not tell Harry this...but he 
certainly does AWARD...and definitely NOT Discourage...Neville, 
Hermione, and Ron...(nor Fred and George for that matter)....

Even in POA, Trelawney mentioned more than just Harry and Voldemort..

We do get that slightest of hints of time travel regarding Fred and 
George in GOF....(they had the M.Map for mnany years...did either of 
them stumble in to dd's pensieve sometime over the years(just like 
Harry?!?!?!?)

DD never gives us the "whole"...the only appearances of him giving 
us more than what we imagined in OOP....Of course he knows a great 
deal more....but he can tell no one if his inital plans/instincts 
want to return the wheels of time/change...

I have a sneaky suspicion of Ginny signing up for as many courses as 
Hermione....Why expose her to the existence of time turners in OOP?
