OK, my contribution is nowhere near as impressive as Saraquel's (i'm 
seriously impressed with that one!), but I would just like to remind 
everyone that in PS/SS, Snape tries to prevent Quirrel from killing 
Harry. DD tells Harry it is due to Snape's life debt to James.

Surely it then follows that IF Snape had been pre-warned of the 
events at GH, then surely he would have acted to save James (why 
would he feel honour bound to protect Harry, but not James - who was 
actually owed the life debt).

The question is - did Snape know what would happen at GH? Since it 
was Snape who actually told Voldemort of the prophecy in the first 
place, it seems a fair assumption that Snape would be involved in 
prophecy related matters after this. If you generate an idea at work, 
you'd be pretty annoyed if you weren't involved in seeing it to 
fruition!!
