Finwitch:

Thanks, Cathy, but I still find the wording curious. We have the 
ambiguos words 'full content' and 'standing in this -- shed'. As Gotcha 
mentioned, there was also this spider in Dumbledore's hat - and why 
would he say the shed was *smelly and spidery* - which isn't very nice 
thing to say - UNLESS he was giving a clue that he was er - 'treating 
truth with great caution'? 

So -- I have a few ideas. I think that Snape *only* heard a part of it -
Albus didn't have to trust only Severus' word for it, there was this 
brother of his as well... 

Now, Trelawney's prophecy was NOT interrupted - Never said it was. Just 
that the dots may be relevant to some events, but... Aberforth spotted 
SS who had his ear on the door and knocked him out. Trelawney keeps on 
and *both* Dumbledores heard the full content of it. They may even have 
same INITIALS! Albus Percifal Wulfric Brian Dumbledore - and Aberforth 
Podmore Wilberforce Brett Dumbledore - don't know that, but if we only 
take first name and surname, they're both A.D. So why not take these 
similar intials all the way?

As for the full content, well - I suppose the persons involved are part 
of it. and only the ADs know that... I think Albus has kept - 
Aberforth's part in it a secret. A secret only two of them know.
