It is interesting to note that, after the publication of this book and before release of ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'', many "good Snape" theorists based their opinions on the fact that Professor Trelawney identified Professor Snape as the intruder the night the prophecy was given. Since we know from Chapter [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 16|16: Professor Trelawney's Prediction]] in ''Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'' that Trelawney is unaware of her surroundings while in the midst of relaying a true prophecy, she could only have seen Snape before or after she relayed the prophecy to Dumbledore. This goes directly against [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 37|Dumbledore's story]] that the intruder only heard the first half of the prophecy before being ejected from the Hog's Head. Furthermore, since we know from Voldemort's actions in ''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'' that Snape did, until that point, only know the first half of the prophecy, many people assume that Snape either heard all of the prophecy or none of it, and either way, only reported as much of it to Voldemort as Dumbledore ordered him to. This would certainly go a long way towards explaining why Dumbledore trusts Snape. However, it is also necessary to remember that in both the instances we have heard, Trelawney repeated the beginning of the prophecy. Therefore, the critical bit of the prophecy was, in fact, the middle, and so if Snape heard only the end, and carried as much as he had heard to Voldemort, that would be the same as carrying only the beginning.

 

 

We can also infer from Snape's memories in that chapter that Dumbledore was not ignoring Harry's information about Draco and Snape; what he said, always, was "Put that out of your mind." Literally, he was saying, not that the issue was unimportant, but that it was not Harry's concern. In Snape's memories, Dumbledore knew Draco's mission before Snape had told him, and before this book had even opened, though we never know how he learned. (Dumbledore and Snape talk of Draco's mission when Snape has just finished containing the curse which killed Dumbledore's hand; and the damage to his hand is alluded to in chapters 2 and 3 of the book.) So Dumbledore's response to Harry's information is more along the lines of "I already know all about this, and you should not concern yourself with it." Dumbledore has said previously that he is an old man, and old men tend to forget how young men think and feel. Perhaps this dismissal of Harry's concerns is another case of this forgetfulness?
