Pippin:
What if...Snape really did hear the whole prophecy, and Dumbledore
tried to make Voldemort (and Harry) *think* he'd missed 
part of it? Then after Dumbledore's gone, Snape could pretend to 
discover evidence that there wasn't any missing part after all.

Harry does seem to think that Voldemort is going to know what he
means by "either must die" even though that's in the supposedly
concealed part. 

We know the DE's were aware of Voldemort's quest for a new wand.
Whether Snape ever figured out that it was the Elder Wand that Voldie
was after...well, if he did, he wouldn't say, would he.

It's clever...after Voldemort takes Harry's blood into himself, love
is still the power Voldemort knows not, but not the power he *has* not.
That's the Elder Wand. 

Pippin
who thinks Trelawney using her crystal balls as weapons is proof
that she knows they're not much good for foretelling
