May 4, 2016 at 5:59	comment	added	BolteAltamont		Agreed; part of the reason I asked the question was to see if we couldn't figure out a bit more on how the Hall works, as none of the other questions had mentioned this "keeper," who it would appear ranks above the other Unspeakables (Bode, Rookwood) somehow. The keeper being dead doesn't quite address the issue, as the replacement keeper probably ought to have the same access powers or at least some information passed on in case records needed adjusting. I do think your explanation of Voldemort simply wanting to avoid any further mishaps concerning Ministry officials makes sense.

As the question linked to in the body of this question makes clear, we simply don't know how the orbs work. There almost has to be some way to retrieve the prophecy from an orb without smashing it, we just don't know what that way is—but it makes sense that the Keeper would know. After all, if they didn't, how would they label them in the first place, much less relabel Harry’s after Voldemort’s first death? (Minor detail: Voldemort wouldn't have to stand there chanting. The prophecy was about him, so he could just take it down from the shelf.)
