What if...? - My last minute theory

[missvassy]

No: HPFGUIDX 172050

I re-read the cave scene in HBP and was paying really close attention 
to what DD was saying when he had to drink that potion.  It sounded 
like Dumbledore was being forced to tell someone something that was 
going to lead or had lead to hurting someone.  I got to thinking that 
the liquid might make the drinker think of his/her worst memory.  

Here goes with the theory:  What if Dumbledore was the one who told 
Voldemort about the prophecy?  Maybe Snape, after being caught 
listening in on the prophecy, ran to Voldemort and told him the 
prophecy, but mentioned that he only heard part of it, but that 
Dumbledore and Trelawney knew the whole thing.  Then, they kidnapped 
Dumbledore to find out the rest.  I am not sure how Voldemort would 
have extracted the prophecy, but perhaps a strong potion was used, 
something Snape could have brewed up and administered.  Maybe half-
way through, Snape had a change of heart -- maybe he found out is was 
about Lily and he didn't want her killed for various reasons or maybe 
he didn't want James killed because he still owed him a life debt -- 
but maybe Snape stopped the interrogation and escaped taking 
Dumbledore with him.

This would explain so many things: why Dumbledore said what he said 
when drinking the fluid, why he trusts Sanpe implicity, why Trelawney 
had to be kept at Hogwarts even though she is an apalling teacher (to 
keep her safe from Voldemort), why Snape came to teach at Hogwarts 
(to keep him safe from Voldemort), how James and Lily knew they had 
to go into hiding.

I hope that, come Saturday at 12:01am, I am proven wrong.  I just 
thought I would throw this around and see if anyone on this board had 
any thoughts.
