Certain people at the Ministry seem to know and I have always assumed
that is why the give Harry extra protections and monitoring. But that
doesn't mean Dumbledore quotes the Prophecy to everyone he meets. He
simply explains it to certain necessary individuals to the extent and
in the detail necessary for them to do their job.

Good answer, Steve. I'm sure that DD only summarized or paraphrased
the Prophecy, suppressing the details. He could simply have said that
it involved the approach of the one with the power to vanquish the
Dark Lord and left it at that. He would then have placed a copy of his
memory of Trelawney delivering the Prophecy (identical to Trelawney
rising from the Pensieve with no context) in the orb exactly as he
placed other memories in crystal vials and magically sealed it. I
think that DD himself would have had to place the Prophecy on its
shelf as the Keeper of the Hall watched. (As the one to whom it was
delivered, he would be able to touch it.) The Keeper would have
assigned it a place and given it a label, as well as altering the
label after GH.

As for others not knowing about the Prophecy, clearly the Death
Eaters, while not knowing the content of the Prophecy, knew what it
was and whom it concerned. So, almost certainly, did Snape. As for the
other Order members, I'm not at all convinced, as other list members
appear to be, that their reference to the Prophecy as a "weapon"
indicates that they didn't know what they were protecting. I think
it's a cover story, invented by Sirius Black on the spot when Lupin
and Mrs. Weasley thought that Harry was hearing more than he ought to
hear.

Carol, hoping that others will get a chance to chime in on this point
before the list closes
