I just finished Beetle the Bard and decided to repost on this question.
During the Order of the Phoenix at this time, Dumbledore was trying to keep Voldemort out of Harry's mind and was I think analyzing Voldemort and thinking over the Horcruxes, preparing himself for the revelations he would make to Harry in book six when he would teach Harry about Voldemort. I think studying these stories and the way they touch on wizards desire for invulnerability freedom from responsibility to other people in the Hopping pot or the pains of love in Hairy heart or the fear of death in the tale of the two brothers helped him as he meditated on Voldemort and his flight from death. The three brother's tale is of course about the very issue he is studying. Babbity Rabbity is about the inability to resurrect the dead and that touches on the flight from death. I think the books opened Voldemort up to him and therefore his comments were at that time for his own use. Perhaps he imagined that they could have been published after the war, but I really think he was playing with the ideas in his own mind.
