Yes, LV went to the MoM knowing that the prophesy was smashed -(Harry 
can feel these things). And Yes, LV went there without knowing DD was 
there. 

The DE didn't have to be there for hours, however. LV misused 
Harry's "dream-like" experience to think Sirius was taken those hours 
ago, but the DE only had to appear after DA arrived. 

I think the statues moved by DD's instructions, not as a security 
measure. LV stayed around to kill either DD, Harry or both. Remember 
that one of LV weapons was Harry himself.
