Alla:

Yes, that is another good explanation. I mean, Dumbledore who 
conspires with Snape to feed information to Voldemort looks like a 
monster to me. I don't want him to look like a monster :(

Whether he lies afterwards to protect Snape or not as Mike suggested 
( which in itself is understandable) would not change the fact that 
Dumbledore suggested for prophecy to be fed and Dumbledore who does 
not figure out what is going to happen to prophecy couple and their 
baby looks IMO really stupid.

I will have same question as I had when it was suggested that Snape 
did not understand the meaning of the prophecy that he reported.

What did Dumbledore think Voldemort will do to prophecy couple? 
Invite them for afternoon tea or something?

Huh? Are you suggesting that this is another evil deed of Lupin? 
Please clarify if you mean somebody else. If you mean Lupin, you 
don't have to clarify :)

Erm.... inaction in a sense that two people and their baby should 
not be put in danger rather than should be put in danger?

Um, yes, honestly I would think much better of him if the thought of 
this action did not come in his head :)
