Geoff:
Just looking at the relevant piece for a moment:

"born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal but he will have 
power the Dark Lord knows not.."


Hells:

For example, this part does not sound right to me, it is grammatically incorrect and flows very badly. It would look and sound much better if there was proper punctuation like her other prophesy did.

 

Geoff:
Surely it is not being suggested that 
you can take your own stored memory and actually alter it - 
amalgamating, modifying it so that it does not reflect the actual 
real events?

 

Hells:

I'm not suggesting that Dumbledore is modifying his own memory, just that he is showing Harry selected excerpts that he has meshed together.

 

Dumbledore himself said that he used the pensieve to spot patterns. We know that memories can be manipulated and not just shown from beginning to end in order. In GoF chapter 30, We see an excerpt of a memory of Bertha Jorkins, and we also see Harry's face "change smoothly into Snape's". What I'm trying to say is not that he changed the memory, just that he didn't show Harry the entire prophesy, that he had edited some very sensitive stuff out.

 

I would be interested to hear what other people think was in the prophesy that would be dangerous for Voldemort to know?
