Interesting.  I've previously had a problem with the timeline where
Snape supposedly heard the _FIRST HALF_ of the prophecy but not the
second, in combination with Trelawny knowing that there was a
commotion involving Snape outside the door.  What was the sequence of
events that could make this work?  Was it like this:

Time 1: Dumbledore is talking to Trelawny while she is in "normal" mode

Time 2: Snape begins overhearing their conversation

Time 3: Trelawny goes into "prophecy" mode, begins prophesying

Time 4: Snape gets caught by bartender, misses 2nd half.  Dumbledore
continues to hear the rest of the prophecy, ignoring the commotion in
the hall?

Time 5: Trelawny finishes prophecy, returns to "normal"

Time 6: Dumbledore / bartender opens the door so he and Trelawny can
see that it was Snape outside.

It's Time 4 that I have the most trouble with.  I guess it could work,
but does it make sense that Dumbledore could be so focused on the
prophesying that he wasn't distracted by the commotion in the hall? 
He showed Harry the memory of Trelawny on the surface of the pensieve
instead of diving into the pensieve, so we only see and hear Trelawny
but not the rest of context.  Maybe Harry will learn a lot by doing
some pensieve diving into this particular memory.

And then, we may know what _EXACTLY_ Snape knew.  lulia Cristiana, you
may be exactly right!

Eddie, who can't think of a clever closing tag.
