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).
