Its basically explained in the fact that only Dumbledore actually 
knows the contents of the prophecy as well as Voldemort. Voldemort 
knows that the prophecy contains his destiny.  In this respect he 
assumes it is the key to figuring out how he can thrawt Harry Potter.

The prophecy isn't Oedipus Rex, it has a one or the other ending.

Thus if Voldemort knew he COULD kill Harry Potter personally he could 
indeed do so.  He'd also need to do it first hand, no more minions.

Harry is also the secret weapon of the OoP. Voldemort can only be 
killed by Harry, no other.
