WG*:
Apologies for the ubersnip, but I really had a bit of a brainwave
late last night that concerns this section of your post.

Is there any canon, that I've obviously missed or can't remember
atm, that states that Snape went to LV and told him about the
prophecy?

If the only canon is *Harry's* realisation, and DD's...he doesn't
deny it but doesn't approve when Harry confronts him either does he?
So DD's ...nonchalance.. regarding this series of events, could it
be that Snape *didn't* tell LV what he overheard, went to DD for
clarification of what it meant instead and - understanding that
someone was being born with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord -
covered his back? Saved his own skin, again?
What if he told LV either nothing, or something marginally important
that LV would/could have gotten from Wormtail? What if, in fact, the
only reason that LV went to the Potters' at all was because he
wanted to *prove* that he could even kill those who chose to hide by
the Fidelius charm?
Terror and chaos, right?
IF LV hadn't vaporised that night, imagine all those in hiding who
would have been...well...pretty much going out of their minds with
fear?
And, in the interests of self-preservation, and just like is
mentioned on another thread regarding Snape's hand in certain
murders, what if he *overplayed* his role in the Potter's death or
maybe didn't clarify to DD that he didn't tell LV what he had heard?

I mean, JKR has, if this is the case, led us astray pretty
efficiently by the use of *Harry's* realisation that Snape told LV
the prophecy but actually, we do have an idea of how LV operates,
and could surmise that that was not the case.


Food for thought, in fact a veritable buffet lol...

WG* - thinking that maybe she thinks too much..!
