Hickengruendler:

I'm pretty sure Voldemort knows, who made the prophecy. Snape 
probably told him, before he changed sides or pretended to change 
(whichever you think is true). Also, there are the initials on the 
prophecy and of course the fact that Dumbledore hired Trelawney as 
Divination teacher the same day the prophecy was made. Even if Snape 
didn't tell Voldemort who made the prophecy, I'm sure Voldie could 
have figured this out easily.

About the theory itself: I think it's possible, but the very fact 
that I think so makes me feel incredibily sorry for Sybill. Imagine 
that it seems possible, that she's gone for days and nobody in the 
castle even realizes this.  

However, I think she's still in the school and was at Dumbledore's 
funeral. Admittingly, she wasn't mentioned by name, but neither were 
Flitwick or Pomfrey. It was said that all the staff came, and I 
assume this includes Trelawney.
