I had a theory for this waaay back when OOtP canon was young, which I
called Prophecies Instrument.
Basically, I supposed that a true prophecy was connected to it's
witness by way of the witness being the vessel through which it can be
fulfilled.
In POA Harry hears the prophecy and soon after he is faced with a
choice of paths before him, the one he chooses (sparing Pettigrew) is
the manner by which the Prophecy can be fulfilled, and it is the same
with Dumbledore, who also not long after hearing the Prophecy is faced
with a choice in of what to do with Baby Harry.
By the reasoning of my theory it is through DD's choices that Harry
could ever fulfill the prophecy, if he chooses wrongly the world is
doomed.
Maybe this is also an explanation for the mystery of why Harry and DD
heard Trelawneys Prophecies. The connection is between the witness and
their own future life - inner being to the Prophecy . It also begs the
question of wether the spy is a Prophecy instrument too.
Aside: If the spy is a PI then that really leans the bar heavily
towards Severus Snape being the Spy.
