Valky:
Well first I figure that the eavesdropper was a Prophecy Instrument
because Voldemort would not have shown up at GH when he did if the
eavesdropper had not *chosen* to tell him.
But the choice laid before DD and Harry as prophecy Instruments was
not as simple to make as would be the decision for a devoted follower
of Voldemort to tell him about a threat to his dominion.
What I mean is that, by the reasoning I have used, it follows that the
eavesdropper PI *struggled* with the decision to tell Voldemort just
as Harry struggled with the decision to spare Pettigrew and DD
struggled with his decision to leave Harry at the Dursleys, this all
leans it heavy towards Snape because we know that he betrayed
Voldemort soon after by joining DD.
