I'm sorry if anyone has posted this before. 
  
I think Professor Trelawney might have been kidnapped under 
Voldemort's orders during the Death Eaters invasion of Hogwarts, 
while everybody was busy in the Astronomy Tower. 
  
<snip lots of nice support for juicy theory>
  
While things were going on in the Astronomy Tower, better and more 
able people (Bellatrix? Voldemort himself?) were in the North Tower 
kidnapping Trelawney _ in my opinion.

While I like this theory, I cannot think of any reason they would 
want to kidnap Trelawny.  This is something I never understood.  I 
didn't understand why Trelawney would be in danger outside the walls 
of Hogwarts after Voldemort had already tried to kill Harry and 
realized that he hadn't herd the whole thing.  

What good would knowing the whole thing be?  We know the whole 
prophesy and I can't honestly see what information derived from it 
could be useful.  

*Voldemort would know that neither could live while the other 
survives, right?  Well, it isn't like he isn't planning on keeping 
Harry around anyway.  He wants to kill him, so that part is pretty 
much moot.

*Voldemort would know that he marked him as an equal.  Well, this 
doesn't really give him much except to know he is fighting with a 
formidable enemy which I think he has probably figured out since 
Harry has already escaped his grasp 4 times.

I might be missing a huge, glaring point and I would love to be 
enlightened.  I think if Voldemort did kidnap Trelawny, he is going 
to be pretty disappointed.  All that info was important before he 
tried to kill Harry and not now.

P.S.  But I still love this theory.  It would be a great comic 
moment if, after hearing the entire prophecy, he says, "What!?!  
That's it?!?!  I could have used THAT info 17 years ago!"
