Yes, I think this is one of the reasons. The other is IMO, that 
Trelawney might spoke another prediction (and I think she will, 
because it are mostly three), and in this case it would be better to 
have her living at Hogwarts, were the chance is much better, that 
Dumbledore or one of his allies hears the prophecy.

Might be. But even if Voldemort isn't able to let Trelawney repeat 
the prophecy, he still could try it. And in this case, Trelawneys 
life were in grave danger.
