Not necessarily, Montavilla offered alternative scenario and I have 
another (not mine, Rebecca's I think), but the one which I really 
like because it is so simple and Dumbledore is telling an absolute 
truth here.

Snape hears the first part of the prophecy and Aberworth catches him 
at that moment, but the first thing that Aberworth does is 
casts "Muffliato" ( spelling?), so Snape is here, but does not hear 
anything else and only after Aberworth casts it, then he opens the 
door and pushes Snape for Dumbledore to see and Sybill comes out of 
her trance now and sees Snape who is indeed there, but only heard the 
first part because of Aberworth quick thinking.

I mean, I think it is perfectly logical IMO that the first thing 
Aberworth would be concerned with is to protect his brother's privacy 
and then smack Snape.
