RE: Trelawney and her statement the Snape was in the room during her  
job interview.
I thought that Trelawney's statement implied that Snape was with  
Bumbles the whole time or, at least, throughout the whole prophesy.  
Thus Snape heard it all and Bumbles instructed/ordered him to only  
tell Moldie part of the prophesy. JKR obviously didn't mean to, but  
this "proved" to me that Bumbles more or less planned the whole set- 
up. Surely, since he and Snape can't keep themselves out of anyone's  
brain, he and Snape knew who the spy was in the order and that he had  
the dark mark (I doubt the Wormtail ever learned occlumency or could  
have kept either out no matter what).
