> So Dumbledore lied to Harry, when he told him how the prophesy got 
released. Dumbledore knew not only how Voldemort would react, he knew 
that would cause the prophesy to become true. He, like Snape, didn't 
know who the unfortunate family would be, but he knew he would get 
the "chosen one" out of the deal. And this chosen one would have "the 
> power to vanquish the Dark Lord", exactly what Dumbledore needed.

I just posted a response to a similar theory, so I won't repeat the whole thing here. I will point out again that if it was all DD's plan, then he's more responsible than Snape for James and Lily's deaths. I just don't think that's a plot twist that furthers the JKR's intentions. It goes beyond giving Dumbledore a character flaw.
