[HPforGrownups] Question about the prophecy and a thought about Ginny

I'm a little confused about what Snape heard of the prophecy.
Professor Trelawny remembers seeing Snape but she doesn't remember
giving the prophecy. I assume this means she had to see him after she
came out of her trance. So how could Snape only hear the first half of
the prophecy if he's there at the end? Did Trelawny give the prophecy
in 2 parts with Snape's interruption in the middle? Or did the barkeep
distract Snape so that he only heard part of it?

I was wondering the same thing. However, what we know is Snape told
Voldemort that the one who can "vanquish" him will be born at the end of
July. So, he heard the first half. That's what is clear. But then he was
thrownn out and I would think that it was the barkeep (Aberforth? that's who
i think the barkeep is) and possibly others interrupted Snape's evesdropping
and ejected him from the building.

However, having said that, if Snape was there throughout the entire prophesy
then he has a chance to extract the memory, drop it into the Pensive and
move into the room to hear the entire prophesy for himself. That would make
him dangerous to all the plans Dumbledore may have had, assuming Snape would
tell Voldemort everything. Just my thoughts on it.
