This is the only part I take issue with. We saw a spell used in OotP
that seals a room from Harry and the Weasley children listening in on
an Order meeting. It is conceivable that Dumbledore, after the seventh
month bit, realizes that the prophecy cannot refer to Snape and thus
Snape is now an eavesdropper, not an involved party. Hence Dumbledore
seals the room after the completion of this phrase.

If true, Dumbledore can say with absolute certainty in HBP's spider
filled broomshed that he and Harry are the only two people that know
the full contents of the prophecy.

I tried to get the Red Hen interested in this idea but no luck.
Perhaps if I can get some of you interested then Red Hen will consider
it ;)
