Voldermort learning the prophecy?

So...what's up for the prophecy in DH?

I was a little surprised when Voldemort gave up on figuring it out in 
HBP.  Given Voldemort's obsessive nature and utter belief in the 
prophecy, I'm guessing he will seek it out again in the belief 
there's something about why Harry thwarts him at every turn.  At 
least I think that's what JKR is going for, that even though Harry 
continues to escape Voldemort by love LV underestimates that power 
and therefore will continue to believe there's more to Harry.

Since Voldemort knows Trelawney is the Seer in question you'd think 
he would make an *attempt* to get to her (unless he knows something 
we don't, i.e., you can't magically get something from a person who 
channelled information she doesn't remember).  Even if she wasn't 
kidnapped out of the Vanishing Cabinent the tower night, it makes 
sense to me LV turned his focus to removing Dumbledore first in order 
to clear the way to Harry and possibly Trelawney (and who knows, 
maybe a Horcrux hidden at Hogwarts?).

Another thought--how would knowing the prophecy change his strategy?  
I'm guessing Voldemort would nix love as Harry's power and instead 
attempt to figure out what magical power Harry could have that 
Voldemort doesn't know about.  Or, since he says himself in the 
graveyard that love was his downfall at GH and in the MOM again he 
must have at least an inkling of what drove him out, would he guess 
Harry's power is love even if he continues to underestimate it?

Okay, that's my brainstorming. Hope others have some thoughts about 
this topic.
